Stone mattress : nine tales  Cover Image Book Book

Stone mattress : nine tales / Margaret Atwood.

Summary:

"In "Freeze-Dried Bridegroom," a man who bids on a storage locker has a surprise. In "Lusus Naturae," a woman with a genetic abnormality is mistaken for a vampire. In "I Dream of Zenia with the Bright Red Teeth," we re-meet Tony, Charis, and Roz from The Robber Bride, but, years later." -- Provided by the Publisher.
In these nine dazzlingly inventive and rewarding stories, Margaret Atwood's signature dark humour, playfulness, and deadly seriousness are in abundance. This is classic Atwood, and she is at the very top of her form.
