{"product_id":"2940015593051","title":"Ah... To Be Dead","description":"Klaus McCreary is dead, that much is sure… or is it?  He has no pulse nor otherwise displays any of the normal signs of being among the living.  Still, he has escaped his casket and moves about as freely as you or me, that is as long as he stays within the confines of the cemetery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow did he come to be in such an undead condition?  That is unknown.  Should he be dead or alive?  Even he doesn’t even know what he should be considered now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnable to pass through or over the graveyard walls, he finds himself locked away and kept from searching for the clues that would return him to the living, or dead in a more proper sense if that is his destiny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt isn't until he's attacked by a small band of children, the result of a schoolyard challenge, that his circumstances change.  This violent act draws him into the mysterious world of an old woman - a witch if you will.  But before he can face her down, he must first do battle with an ogre, hunt down a truffling pig, and deal with those most unruly of beings… skeletons.  Possibly the most annoying of all of the underworlds inhabitants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf he can overcome these obstacles and find the rare and hard to find gallows root, then possibly a deal can be brokered and he will once more be considered among the living, or find himself a step closer to the grave.","brand":"Classic Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171892183280,"sku":"2940015593051","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015593051_p0.jpg?v=1763630598","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015593051","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
