Like a latter-day Palm Springs, Vermillion Sands is a fully automated desert resort designed to fulfill the most exotic whims of the idle rich. But now it languishes in uneasy decay, populated only by forgotten movie stars, solitary impresarios and artistic and literary failures, a place where love and lust pall before the stronger pull of evil.

Contents: The Cloud-Sculptors of Coral D, Prima Belladonna, The Screen Game, The Singing Statues, Cry Hope, Cry Fury! , Venus Smiles, Say Goodbye to the Wind, Studio 5, The Stars, The Thousand Dreams of Stellavista.
