{"product_id":"dead-writers-stories-9781778430541","title":"Dead Writers: Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"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\u003c\/p\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Invisible Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781778430541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2025 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jean Marc Ah-Sen, Cassidy McFadzean, Naben Ruthnum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45038252687541,"sku":"9781778430541","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2e4d0f73-e11b-492a-8c19-b71300c93bf9.jpg?v=1737475304","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dead-writers-stories-9781778430541","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
