J.G. Ballard “Vermilion Sands” Vintage Paperback 1971

Vermilion Sands

J.G. Ballard’s *Vermilion Sands* is a masterful collection of surrealist science fiction stories set in a shimmering, decaying desert resort.

Known for his keen psychological insight and distinctive “inner space” approach to the genre, Ballard crafts a world where art, machines, and human emotion collide in bizarre ways.

This volume is an essential addition for fans of literary speculative fiction and 1970s counter-culture sensibilities.
