Description

Storyteller: A Tanith Lee Tribute Anthology edited by Julie C. Day

Trade Paperback – Essential Dreams Press – June 2025 – 337 pages

Sixteen new stories from some of today’s most renowned authors. Storyteller is a celebration of Tanith Lee’s legacy—and an object lesson in the breadth of authors she influenced.

Drowning cities and unicorns. Burning deserts and forgotten gods. Golems, elf warriors, and inner-Earthers. Alien lifeforms and museum workers. Ancient plagues and the future of humanity. Much like Tanith Lee’s catalog, each story in this anthology is both unique and compelling: from fairy-tale retellings to romance-tinged high fantasy, from nihilistic horror to gripping science fiction. Immersive, wide-ranging, and sublime, Storyteller features worlds and characters that are sure to travel with you long after the last page has been read.

Authors include Mike Allen, CSE Cooney, Maya Deane, Andy Duncan, Rocío Rincón Fernández, Theodora Goss, CL Hellisen, Getty Hesse, Alaya Dawn Johnson, Starlene Justice, Amelia Mangan, Michael Yuya Montroy,  Marisca Pichette, Nisi Shawl, KT Wagner, & Martha Wells

Afterword by Ann VanderMeer. Foreword by Tanith’s widower, John Kaiine.
