Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the magic and mystery of fabled India is woven into these marvelous tales of seven strange nights. For that vast land which many have conquered and none have subdued is the home of ten thousand gods and a hundred thousand demons -- and the teeming races that dwell on its shrouded plains and in its marbled cities have kept their mystic secrets. Only the vivid imagination of Tanith Lee, who has been rightly called "Princess Royal of Heroic Fantasy," could penetrate the veiled nights of India's lore. In "Tamastara," she delights the mind and seasons -- with scented curry -- the imagination of the West. Here are hidden gods and demonic possession; here are were-beasts and subterranean terrors; here are beings transformed and souls reborn; here is terror; and here is wonder. World Horror Grand Master Tanith Lee, winner of the World Fantasy Award and British Fantasy Award, is at her best in this book.
