5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! 5 Jun 2010
By D. Metzger - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've been a Tanith Lee fan since I first read "The Birthgrave" back in 1990. When she's on her game, I don't think there's a finer writer anywhere. With "Sounds and Furies," Ms. Lee consistently hit the mark. The stories are wonderfully varied, almost feeling as if they were written by different people while still carrying her trademark word-paintings and gut-punch impact. I enjoyed every one of them.

Some of the stories also feel more personal, touching perhaps on her own health concerns (if you visit her web page, you will understand), and that element brought more than one sigh - along with many prayers that she will long remain with us and continue to gift us with her dark and beautiful visions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Tanith Lee! 27 Dec 2010
By Tennessee Taz - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As with all the Tanith Lee books/novels I've read, I was not disappointed with "Sounds and Furies." She is my favorite author when it comes to fantasy! This is a collection of short stories full of mild erotica, dark wonders and fantastical images.

If you are a Tanith Lee fan then be sure to get this book. You won't be disappointed. If you aren't familar with her works then this is a good time to become acquainted with a wonderful author!
3.0 out of 5 stars Not Upbeat but Well Written 6 April 2013
By CraftyCat - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Subtitled "Seven Faces of Darkness" these seven short stories deal with demons and/or dysfunctional humans. The settings are mostly contemporary, though one story is set in a post apocalyptic, radioactive earth ("Crying in the Rain"). Another story ("Midday People") is about a dysfunctional couple visiting Rome, and out by herself the woman encounters a visually beautiful young man and woman. Strangely drawn to them, she will find out why taking a nap to escape the hot afternoon sun is a far better idea than to go looking for strangers.

Personally I did not like the personalities of the characters in the stories. Were they real, I would never want to spend time with any of them. Because I found them totally unlikeable, this ultimately caused me to not care what became of them when the story ended.

The stories are very well written, but if you are looking for the magical, fantasy world that exists in a majority of Tannith Lee's books, this is probably not the book for you.
