"Then a wolf sang in the forest. She lifted her head. She suddenly knew frost and running and black stillness, and a platinum moon, red feasts and wild hymnings, lovers with quicksilver eyes and the race of the ice and wind and stars smashed under the hard soles of her four feet."

—Tanith Lee, Wolfland

My fanart of "The Silver Metal Lover" by Tanith Lee. If I were a little more inspired I'd have drawn an actual scene from the book, but I just wanted to get down how I felt the characters looked in my head.

Snow White // White as Snow by Tanith Lee

Once upon a time in the middle of winter, when the flakes of snow were falling like feathers from the sky, a queen sat at a window sewing, and the frame of the window was made of black ebony. And whilst she was sewing and looking out of the window at the snow, she pricked her finger with the needle, and three drops of blood fell upon the snow. And the red looked pretty upon the white snow, and she thought to herself, "Would that I had a child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as the wood of the window-frame."

Haunting the halls of used bookstores wailing "Do you have any Tanith Lee?" like a ghost asking for her children.
