{"product_id":"2940150849563","title":"Black Bubbles","description":"Horror is pessimism at its bleakest. Worst-case scenario. The darker side of reality. The glass half-empty. The situation unfathomable. In Black Bubbles, Kelli Owen presents classic genre tropes--ghosts, murderers, zombies, what you'd expect (sans sharks)--but it's the characters, rather than the tropes, that experience the story, speak of the horrors, and sometimes survive the inevitable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSometimes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA decades-old crime shocks a family as evidence points to one of their own... An ancient evil hitchhikes its way to freedom... A child has an unusual fascination with decay... A woman excuses premeditation... Death takes a holiday... Science and good intentions make horrific bedfellows... A man hides from nightmares that invade his waking world...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKelli Owen's first collection gathers over 60,000 words, including a handful of out-of-print, difficult-to-find previously published work, a plethora of new pieces, story notes, drawings inspired by the title story, and an introduction by the legendary Thomas Monteleone.","brand":"Gypsy Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073580810480,"sku":"2940150849563","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150849563_p0.jpg?v=1763753733","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150849563","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
