may force changes.

!?! A Tanith Lee title that I have never heard of?! ... checks 
ISFDB ... short story chapbook? You have a copy?

> The Dragon Lord (1971)

Er, this is _The Dragon Hoard_ (1971).

<snip>

> The Winter Players (1976)

Why not "Companions on the Road" (published with "The Winter 
PLayers" in the USA)? For that matter, where's _East of Midnight_, 
_The Castle of Dark_, and _Shon the Taken_?

I do not! I assembled the list from suggestions. However, I believe it's now 
part of a longer work.

Depending on what I can actually find, they may  get swapped in.

The moral is, find the books before making the list.

Also a possible substitute.

My very first Tanith Lee story has now been read. :) It was a short
story (my recreational reading time is extremely limited) hosted by the
unSFnal _Nature_ website. [1] The unSFnal nature of the story, so to
speak, intrigued me enough to pick that story first.

*spoiler space*


"Dead Yellow" dovetails with a recent rasw thread about the lack of
green stars. But yellow's the dead color in the Lee story. Lee's story
paints horrific landscapes along the way and ends with a sort of hard
science fiction gestalt.

Note.

When you get to 1980 you could pause and watch two episodes of the 
British SF TV series Blake's 7 - look for the episodes Sarcophagus and 
Sand.

The latter is 1976.  I infer that you're aware that <Drinking Sapphire 
Wine> is an immediate sequel.

I'm mildly disappointed not to see <Piratica> (2004) et seqq. (2006, 
2007) here.  You being Canadian may make the third, not published in 
the US, more accessible to you.

If I'm able by then to get to the copy of III about a hundred miles from 
me, maybe I'll wait until you get this far and then snip the relevant 
stuff from my book log to post ahead of time.
