Stone Mattress is a short fiction collection by Margaret Atwood, published in 2014.[1] Atwood describes the pieces in the collection as "tales" rather than short stories, as they draw from the mythical and fantastical aspects associated with fables and fairy tales, rather than from conventional literary realism.[1]
Stories in the collection include "The Dead Hand Loves You", "Lusus Naturae", "I Dream of Zenia with the Bright Red Teeth", "The Freeze-Dried Groom", "Alphinland", "Revenant", "Torching the Dusties", "Stone Mattress" and "Dark Lady".[1] "I Dream of Zenia with the Bright Red Teeth" is a sequel story to Atwood's 1993 novel The Robber Bride.[2]
