Fantasy Anthology
Widely praised and widely read, Elizabeth Hand is regarded
as one of America's leading literary fantasists. This new
collection (an expansion of the limited-release Bibliomancy,
which won the World Fantasy Award in 2005) showcases a
wildly inventive author at the height of her powers. Included in this collection are "The Least Trumps," in which
a lonely women reaches out to the world through symbols,
tattooing, and the Tarot, and "Pavane for a Prince of the
Air," where neo-pagan rituals bring a recently departed soul
to something very different than eternal rest. Written in
the author's characteristic poetic prose and rich with the
details of traumatic lives that are luminously transformed,
Saffron and Brimstone is a worthy addition to an outstanding
career.
