Sur une planète océane, où les naufragés venus de la Terre se sont divisés en deux castes, les rampants et les aériens, Mariss est une fille de pêcheur, une rampante, recueillie à la mort de ses parents par Russ, un aérien. Élevée comme telle, elle découvre le bonheur de fendre les cieux, messagère portée par les vents, grâce aux ailes léguées par les mythiques navigateurs stellaires de jadis. Hélas, le fils de Russ, Coll, est sur le point d’atteindre sa majorité. Les ailes deviendront siennes, comme le veut la coutume. Commence alors pour la jeune femme un combat acharné pour garder un sens à sa vie, une lutte infinie qui aura des répercussions sur toute la planète. Mariss saura être plus forte que la tradition, plus forte que tous les autres, car c’est elle qui chevauche les tempêtes et nul autre. Récit d’une lutte passionnelle, magnifique aventure aérienne, Elle qui chevauche les tempêtes est l’unique collaboration de l’auteur du Trône de fer, George R. R. Martin, et Lisa Tuttle.

A three-book young adult collection from award-winning author Lisa Tuttle, featuring Love Online, Panther in Argyll and Snake Inside. Love in the digital age has its ups and downs in Love Online. In Panther in Argyll, Dannielle possesses a rare ability: an empathetic link with creatures, particularly the black panther, her ''totem animal''. But the link means more than just understanding: Dannielle is about to discover the excitement of being able to change into a panther herself . . . And in Snake Inside Lia is convinced her mother is a murderer, several times over - but she''s not a normal serial killer. Could it possible be true that she''s turning into a snake to murder all these men? If Lia doesn''t find out the truth, and quickly, the results could be calamitous . . . Endlessly inventive, Lisa Tuttle''s young adult collection is a gripping riot of imagination with the subtlety and power of a master storyteller.

Over the past few decades, Lisa Tuttle has quietly established her place as one of today''s very best writers of weird and horror fiction. Her previous collection, The Dead Hours of Night, was a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award, and now she is back with this new volume containing twelve more unsettling tales. In ''Bits and Pieces'', a woman is surprised to find her lover has left behind his foot in her bed, but it''s only the first of many macabre mementoes. ''The Wound'' tells of a platonic friendship between two male coworkers that begins to turn into something very different when one of them notices he has started to bleed. The protagonist of ''The Hungry Hotel'' is contacted years later by an old one-night stand and goes to meet him at a strange hotel, with unforeseen consequences. These and nine other weird and often frightening tales showcase Lisa Tuttle''s unique ability to disturb and unnerve her readers. This collection also includes the rare novella ''The Dragon''s Bride'', newly revised and expanded for this edition, and an introduction by Neil Gaiman, who has called Lisa Tuttle ''the finest practitioner of unsettling fiction writing today''.

''Lisa Tuttle never disappoints'' George R.R. Martin An exclusive short story from the author of THE MYSTERIES and THE SILVER BOUGH. A working wife and mother longs for more time to write, then finds a hidden room where her wish is granted, where she can work undisturbed in a place out of time...

What if the logic of the world reflected the bizarre logic of the unconscious? Each story in My Pathology explores the insanity just below the surface of normal life, especially the madness that unites and divides the sexes. A woman''s obsession with her younger sister''s nocturnal activities centres uneasily upon the attic of their shared home, where someone or something has built a room-sized nest. A man''s desire to connect with aliens threatens his ability to form human relationships. And in the title story, a modern-day alchemist has enlisted sexuality itself into his quest for the philosopher''s stone, with uncertain consequences for the women who love him. By turns disturbing and compelling, these sixteen multi-faceted tales reprise the career of one of SF''s most emotionally insightful writers. Includes the stories ''Replacements'', ''Honey, I''m Home!'', ''Food Man'', ''Mr Elphinstone''s Hands'', ''Lucy Maria'', ''Where the Stones Grow'', ''White Lady''s Grave'', ''Tir Nan Og'', ''The Dragon''s Bride'', ''Manskin, Womanskin'', ''From Another Country'', ''The Walled Garden'', ''The Extra Hour'', ''In Jealousy'', ''Turning Thirty'' and ''My Pathology''.

So schön das blaugrüne Cover mit den schwerelos dahingleitenden Flugmenschen anzusehen ist, so träumerisch leicht liest sich dieser FantasyRoman über das in 3 Novellen erzählte Leben der Fliegerin Maris. Auf Windhaven, einem Wasserplaneten mit vielen Inseln, leben die Landgebundenen und die Flieger. Aufgrund alter Traditionen wird Maris der Traum vom Fliegen verwehrt. Doch sie kämpft um ihre Flügel. Durch die Gründung von FlugAkademien will sie den nichtprivilegierten Landgebundenen den Aufstieg in die Fliegergilde ermöglichen. Nach weiteren Auseinandersetzungen gelingt der alternden Maris, die nach einer erfüllten Flugkarriere nicht mehr fliegen kann, im gemeinsamen Kampf gegen einen Inseltyrannen die Annäherung der verfeindeten Gruppen. Dass Fantasyromane sich nicht immer über mehrere Bände erstrecken und mit Magiern, Elfen und Gnomen aufwarten müssen, beweist Martins lesenswertes Buch. Allen Bibliotheken empfohlen.
