Scanner collage based on J G Ballard's
the four-dimensional nightmare

This 1963 anthology collects some very early stories, including the wierd, ecstatic Prima Belladonna, one of the Vermillion Sands stories (Studio 5, the stars is also here). It's a calculatedly seductive collection, an attractive mixture of the cold, the cool, and the beautifully strange.

The cover painting on this very pretty Penguin paperback is by Giorgio Gordoni.
