โœฆ Synopsis


A Vintage Shorts โ€œShort Story Monthโ€ Selection

The author of such towering novels as The Handmaidโ€™s Tale, The Blind Assassin, and Oryx and Crake, Margaret Atwood proves her imaginative prowess dazzles just as vividly in her short fiction. โ€œStone Mattress,โ€ from her collection of the same name is witty, grotesque, and utterly hilariousโ€”an exemplar of Atwoodโ€™s tremendous capacity for capturing our darkest impulses on the page.

Verna, aging widow, boards a cruise ship bound for the Arctic in search of her next husband. The last four had suffered regrettable tragedies and left Verna wickedly wealthy in their wake. But, instead of finding another wealthy suitor, Verna finds unwitting Bob, the first man to have ever wronged her. Single, reasonably near his grave, ordinary, and attracted to her like all the othersโ€”Bob is all-too-easy prey for Vernaโ€™s merciless revenge.

An ebook short.
