Bliv medlem af LibraryThing for at finde ud af, om du vil kunne lide denne bog. Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. actually a hardbound pairing of 2 longish short novellas, this is my favorite book of all time. i have read it no less than 30 times, and can recite the first page of the book to myself from memory. the first novella is called "Sabella: Or The Bloodstone" and follows the adventures of an irresistible woman on an unavoidable journey. set on "Novo Mars" in the distant future, the story reads part romance, part science fantasy, vampire story and mystery all rolled into one. the language is evocative and beautiful, there is much reflection on the role of religion and the nature of humanity. the second tale is called "Kill the Dead" and is essentially a ghost story with a wicked twist. Parl Dro is our intrepid, if essentially dark, hero out to fulfill his destiny and destroy a legendary ghost town. complications along the way begin to reveal an essential truth about Dro even he is unable to see until a crisis arises which precipitates a shocking realization. satisfying and dark, these stories strike one in the dimmest most sensual place where magic is at its best. on a side note, for anyone who's seen "The Sixth Sense" i am absolutely CONVINCED the person who wrote that screenplay has read this book and swiped thematic and detail elements from it for the script. if you read the book, you'll know what i mean. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

I tried to read "Sabella, or The Blood Stone" with my wife and after about 65 pages (midway) we were bored to tears. The vampire in a sci-fi setting was kind of jarring and it was just really "emo" and slow.
Tanith Lee is one of my favorite authors, but it's funny because her books/stories are usually either completely amazing or utterly terrible and painful to read. If you want to try her amazing stuff out check out Death's Master and other books in the Flat Earth series. ( )
