Tempting the Gods

Not really the best collection I've seen from Tanith Lee. Some of the stories were fairly mediocre and knowing Lee's penchant for certain plot twists, I knew the ending of some before I got there.

At her best, the stories in this volume are haunting and powerful, but at their worst they are meandering and try too hard to be evocative, so they just end up being obvious and kind of frustrating (I'm looking at you “Anna Medea” and “Cain”).
