{"product_id":"9781778430541","title":"Dead Writers: Stories","description":"“Though the four novellas comprising \u003ci\u003eDead Writers\u003c\/i\u003e vary tremendously in style and subject matter, they all evoke a delicious, spine—tingling sense of dread. These tales take readers on a head spinning journey through the inner workings of a cruel colonial school, all the way to a creepy contemporary vacation rental, never losing sight of the selfish, unscrupulous, and inescapable aspects of human behaviour. This is a collection that will keep you turning pages, but that will also make you wonder: Are the pages turning you?”\u003cb\u003e—Allegra Hyde, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Last Catastrophe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this collaborative fiction project, four writers navigate the protean concept of the “bargain” in novella—length stories. A biographer surveying the career of a “haunted” literary figure, a lovelorn journalist entering into a diabolic covenant, a tourist attempting to stay sober through her holiday travels, and a doctor’s complicity in a colonial scandal: These horror—inflected offerings of existential dread, tainted pasts, and uncertain futures serve as an unbalancing reminder that there is always a high price to pay for the corruption of the soul.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Invisible Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42485292499005,"sku":"9781778430541","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781778430541_p0.jpg?v=1771587492","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.mom\/products\/9781778430541","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
