Margaret Atwood returns to short fiction with nine tales of acute psychological insight and turbulent relationships bringing to mind her award-winning 1996 novel, Alias Grace . 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.
