Lee wrote this small epitaph for her website, and it was posted this morning: Her first novel was the children’s book The Dragon Hoard (1971) her first book for adults, The Birthgrave, the first novel in The Birthgrave Trilogy, was published four years later. Lee often mentioned that she was unable to read until she was 8, due to a mild form of dyslexia, and she began to write at the age of 9.
In her long career she wrote 90 novels and some 300 short stories, as well as two episodes of the BBC series Blake’s 7.
I read my first Tanith Lee novel, Kill the Dead, in 1987. Tanith Lee’s website,, is reporting that she passed away on May 24th.
