Very cool. The first Tanith Lee I ever read, I think, was either Black Unicorn or her short story "Ceres Passing" when I was in elementary school. I rediscovered her in high school; the local library had The Book of the Dead, which I have since come to consider the weakest of the Secret Books of Paradys, but I would sit in the stacks and page through it and be amazed. Eventually I ordered the entire quartet through interlibrary loan, and they did something to my head.* After that, I tracked down all the Tanith Lee I could from every used book store I walked into, and I now have damn near her complete novels. The short story collections have proved more difficult to trace, but that's what libraries are for . . .
*The Book of the Damned is one of my favorites, not only of Tanith Lee, but of books I've ever read. I could go on for hours.
I read Black Unicorn in sixth grade; it was one of my foundational texts.
Also, I will be at Readercon (the whole three days; I got time off work specifically on Friday so as to go. Apparently, when I want something bad enough I can plan ahead.)

Yay. I look forward to seeing you there. Have you signed up to do panels et cetera, or will you be attending in your nonprofessional capacity?
