Vermilion Sands

In the preface Ballard himself has written:
"Vermilion Sands has more than its full share of dreams and illusions, fears and fantasies, but the frame for them is less confining. I like to think, too, that it celebrates the neglected virtues of the glossy, lurid and bizarre."

The Cloud-Sculptors of Coral D
Prima Belladonna
The Screen Game
