{"product_id":"2940158730665","title":"Sleeping with Monsters","description":"Anyone familiar with Liz Bourke's work knows she isn't shy about sharing her opinion. In columns and reviews for science fiction and fantasy website Tor.com and elsewhere, she's taken a critical eye to fantasy and SF, from books to movies, television to videogames, old to new. This volume presents a selection of the best of her articles. Bourke's subjects range from the nature of epic fantasy-- is it a naturally conservative sort of literature?--to the effect of Mass Effect's decision to allow players to play as a female hero, and from discussions of little-known writers to some of the most popular works in the field. A provocative, immensely readable collection of essays about the science fiction and fantasy field, from the perspective of a feminist and a historian, Sleeping With Monsters is an entertaining addition to any reader's shelves.","brand":"Aqueduct Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071797608688,"sku":"2940158730665","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158730665_p0.jpg?v=1764118887","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158730665","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
