Ballard's genius for imagining exotic places appears again in Vermilion Sands where he creates a fantasy landscape of the future. These stories feature forgotten movie queens and guilt-ridden femmes fatales who exercise their every whim in a culture of unlimited technology.

3,5 stars. This is not entirely my cup of tea but felt like switching it up, which I do once in a while.

Felt like the book was also kind of repetitive but the story itself is SOOO good and each chapter reads easily
