In discussion last night, Tanith Lee’s patchy output came up, but all agreed that they loved ‘Drinking Sapphire Wine’, and voices were heard for ‘Silver Metal Lover’ and ‘The Electric Forest’ (the latter very similar to ‘The Girl Who Was Plugged In’ by Tiptree).
Thanks for the comment. I’ll have to check out those other stories 🙂
