{"product_id":"2940150186811","title":"Iridescence and other stories","description":"An alien who can paint on the surface of a soap bubble. A corporate raider who faxes himself to his takeovers. A woman who can See the future, and a man with fear so great it turns back time. These are a few of the beings who inhabit Dean Whitlock’s stories. From back roads to teeming cities to a hidden torture chamber; from the serious to the absurd – each of the ten stories in this collection is unique, a tale born of a real-world experience, reshaped by Whitlock’s questing imagination and his antic cast of characters. Nine of the stories have appeared before, in Asimov’s Science Fiction, Fantasy \u0026amp; Science Fiction, and Aboriginal SF. The tenth tale is seeing its first wide distribution, an absurdist satire guaranteed to entertain many, irritate some, and enrage a few. One thing you can be sure of, every one of Whitlock’s stories will stir your emotions. Like them or hate them, you won’t be bored.","brand":"Dean Whitlock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47109332107504,"sku":"2940150186811","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150186811_p0.jpg?v=1763747543","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150186811","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
