HTML:<b>A collection of highly imaginative short pieces that speak to our times with deadly accuracy. Vintage Atwood creativity, intelligence, and humor: think <i>Alias Grace</i>.</b><br /> <br /> Margaret Atwood turns to short fiction for the first time since her 2006 collection, <i>Moral Disorder</i>, with nine tales of acute psychological insight and turbulent relationships bringing to mind her award-winning 1996 novel, <i>Alias Grace</i>. A recently widowed fantasy writer is guided through a stormy winter evening by the voice of her late husband in "Alphinland," the first of three loosely linked stories about the romantic geometries of a group of writers and artists. In "The Freeze-Dried Bridegroom," a man who bids on an auctioned storage space has a surprise. In "Lusus Naturae," a woman born with a genetic abnormality is mistaken for a vampire. In "Torching the Dusties," an elderly lady with Charles Bonnet syndrome comes to terms with the little people she keeps seeing, while a newly formed populist group gathers to burn down her retirement residence. And in "Stone Mattress," a long-ago crime is avenged in the Arctic via a 1.9 billion-year-old stromatolite. In these nine tales, Margaret Atwood is at the top of her darkly humorous and seriously playful game.<br /> <br /> <b>List of Stories and Narrators:</b><br /> <br /> ·         “Alphinland” and  “Torching the Dusties” read by Lorna Raver<br /> ·         “Revenant” read by Mark Bramhall<br /> ·         "Dark Lady” and  “The Dead Hand Loves You” read by Arthur Morey<br /> ·         “Lusus Naturae” read by Emily Rankin<br /> ·         “The Freeze-Dried Groom” read by Rob Delaney<br /> ·         “I Dream of Zenia with the Bright Red Teeth” read by Bernadette Dunne<br /> ·         “Stone Mattress” read by Margaret Atwood.
