‘Rich poetry, voluptuousness, and wicked lemon-sweet humour that this great British authoress is known and appreciated for’ British Fantasy Society Bulletin
‘As luxuriant as ever, imparting some of the qualities of a fever dream’ Fantasy Review
Beneath the mortal realm of the Flat Earth, demons lurk – but this world is bridged by Azhriaz, daughter of a mortal priestess, and Azhrarn, known as Night’s Master.
Raised on an isolated isle, guarded and hidden away from demon and mortal alike, Azhriaz was meant to sleep forever, never knowing the world outside her dreams. But forces are moving to wake her. The demon known as Delusion’s Master is drawn by her latent power and entranced by her beauty. To release her from eternal slumber, he must create the greatest illusion he has ever rendered. If he succeeds, Azhriaz will be reborn as Delirium’s Mistress, a sorceress of extraordinary power. Perhaps even more powerful than Azhrarn himself…

Reviews
Sensuous, decadent, Beckford-like fantasies, these tales focus on the Arabian Nights-style adventures of various Lords of Darkness, mages, poets, witch-queens, and priestesses
These tales embody a unique blend of magical imagery, metaphysical vision, and psychological insight into the hinterland of the human (and not-so-human) soul
Here still is all the rich poetry, voluptuousness, and wicked lemon-sweet humour that this great British authoress is known and appreciated for
Tanith Lee has a private window into another world. That's the only possible explanation for the inventiveness of [Tales from the Flat Earth]... all told with a degree of wit and humour rarely attempted in fantasy fiction, and even more rarely achieved
Contains all of Lee's inimitable, rich inventiveness and language
The prose in Delirium's Mistress is as luxuriant as ever, imparting some of the qualities of a fever dream
