{"product_id":"2940013419728","title":"An Anthology of Curious Oddities","description":"This is a collection of short stories and flash fiction. It contains eight total stories, and is not all that long. Each and every one of these stories has a powerful emotional impact, and I sincerely hope you enjoy them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJulina's Wish is flash fiction focusing on emotion and dealing with mental trauma. It's the shortest story I have, but it's quite powerful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJulina's Enslavement is quite a bit longer than Julina's Wish and tells the beginning of Julina's trauma from the last story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJulina's Emancipation tells how the trauma ended, or at least the source of it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for Stupidity features a different character, and is a satire on those who say that violent media encourages violence in real life. This is one of my favorite stories, personally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Artist Enters features two different characters, one a sculptor, the other royalty. You might find yourself wanting to bang your head against the wall after reading this one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sculptor features the sculptor from the previous story, faced with what to do with some defective merchandise he's purchased. This story unnerves some people. Others end up much more than unnerved. You have been warned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Ghost Story features yet another character, and is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. A young man visits a house left to him by his grandfather despite stories that the house and estate are haunted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLuniv's Torture features the same ghost from the previous story, except she isn't dead yet. It's nothing too graphic, but yes, it is torture. It's based on an online game that I won't mention, so don't be surprised if the details confuse you.","brand":"Luce Bianchi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069977444592,"sku":"2940013419728","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013419728_p0.jpg?v=1763581254","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013419728","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
