I struggled to enjoy the first story and when the character got to London and went into some detailed description of the Reagents canal through Camden town and got a lot of the description wrong I had to stop reading.

I tried the second and third stories but couldn't get into them either. Something about it all that just jarred with me.

I quite enjoyed Wylding Hall by the same author so I dunno what was the matter here? (

Much newer, Elizabeth Hand’s 2006 short story collection Saffron and Brimstone: Strange Stories showcases the way Hand uses literary style, tone and language in stories that would normally be considered fantasy. She gives us the Calypso of myth, still alive and looking for a man to be true (“Calypso in Berlin”), a post-apocalyptic “Echo” wasting away on a Maine island and still missing Narcissus; and the wonderful horror novella “Cleopatra Brimstone,” in which a lepidopterist has a traumatic reaction to an attack and discovers that there’s only one world in which she really belongs. Overall, these are excellent stories and a great introduction to Hand’s work.
