Packed with diversity, supercharged with emotional and philosophical revelation, and full of surprises and power, Storyteller is a special 'must have' acquisition for readers and libraries who have felt the power of Tanith Lee's voice and will be delighted to find it mirrored by her most ardent fellow writers." -Midwest Review of Books
