Redder Than Blood Tanith Lee 9780756412517 Books

This book is unfortunately not great. Plenty of purple prose and the "romantic scenes" read like Belinda Blinked. I genuinely enjoyed 2 or 3 of the stories, but overall I was very disappointed.

Redder Than Blood Tanith Lee 9780756412517 Books Reviews

Redder than Blood is a collection of short stories that are retellings of fairy tales. From Snow White to Cinderella to Beauty and the Beast and more, the tales in Redder than Blood are often dark and always with a twist. Most of the stories are sci-fi or fantasy, but there are a few that could be considered general fiction, horror, or straight up fairy tale.

The quality of the writing is good. The stories themselves are well written. Many of them have been published before. I can't say I liked each and every story, but I liked more of them than I disliked. There were a few that felt overly long, like the retelling of Swan Lake. My favorite is the last one in the book, a retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses. There was one story that is ostensibly a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, but has elements of Bluebeard in it as well. There is a note at the end that pairs the stories with the original they are derived from.

Some of the stories would be trigger inducing for some people because they have issues in them such as child abuse. Remember though the original tales these are drawn from often had the dark and violent as well. They were not Disney stories. There weren't always happy endings and what happened along the way wasn't always pleasant. That pretty much sums up the stories in this collection.

I give it 4 stars out of 5. The writing is good quality and there is a good variety to the tales. I didn't like all of them, but I liked enough of them to give the anthology a healthy thumbs up.

Disclaimer I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
Tannith Lee is like an irresistible dessert. Rich, filling, and at times overwhelming. Yet I'm powerless to stop. Her words have a certain thickness to them, you don't just read them, they envelope you in their way. She doesn't tell a story, she paints it, adding in little hints of shadow and highlight, pulling your attention to the important details without being obvious about it. So often those important details aren't even the main focus of the art.

Every time I read one of her stories, I am pulled under by waves. Waves of emotion, of passion. I have yet to find a story teller that rivals this one. Even the stories I didn't care for as much were told in such a way that I was glued to the pages.

This is one of my all time favorite authors, and while I know that her style won't be for everyone, I firmly believe that this is one of those classics that shouldn't be overlooked.
~ George 5 Stars
Tanith Lee takes familiar fairy tales like The Frog Prince, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Little Red Riding Hood and others, and has several different retellings of each one.

the first take on Little Red Riding Hood starts with some hairy man, or werewolf demanding Red give into him and when she takes her red cloak off and lays down on it, letting him have sex with her, she changes into the monster, who takes him like a red flower. The next retelling of this fairy tale takes place in modern times and has an improper grandmother telling her grandchildren this story, as a warning that wolves still stalk. One of the children, a boy, says he likes wolves, but it is his older cousin who dreams of being birthed from a blue wolf in a tree. This cousin learns the next day her cousin dies and years later, she returns to the area she grew up in, where women have been killed and eaten. She runs into her cousin, not dead, but changed.

There are two different version of Beauty and the Beast tales. “The Beast” man doesn't look like a beast. The Beauty in this one, marries him and discovers the beastliness inside him, due to his need to collect things of interest and loveliness. The second story “The Beast and Beauty”, the man is the beauty and the beast is now the woman. It is about wanting to uplift someone else's misery and falling in love with that person that when no one else understands why. Every short story or novella is either erotic or not, but all are dark. And Lee is a master at drawing the reader in with this collection.

If you've never read Tanith Lee. Start with these reworked fairy tales and see why she was an award-winning storyteller.
