Saffron and Brimstone: Strange Stories by Elizabeth Hand
4.0
One-sentence summary: Strange, slightly-surreal short stories in the vein of Aimee Bender.
Why did you get this book?: The title, I think.
Do you like the cover?: Yes, if I didn't look too closely at the bug.
Did you enjoy the book?: Yes. Ish. In every story, I would find myself enthralled and then irritated, enthralled again, then disappointed. And yet, in the end, I enjoyed most of the stories. "Cleopatra Brimstone" and "The Least Trumps" were my favorites.
