In the Bram Stoker Award-winning short story, “The Crawl Space,” a widow obsessively re-turns to the house she once shared with her husband, until an invitation from the new owners to come inside takes a turn for the menacing. In “The Drowned Girl,” a university transfer student becomes increasingly obsessed with the drowning\/murder of another female student as her own sense of self begins to deteriorate. And in the final story, “Welcome to Friendly Skies,” a trusting group of bird-watchers is borne to a remote part of the globe—and to a harrowing fate. This is an arresting fiction collection from “one of the great writers of our time” (John Gardner).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grove Atlantic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47300746969328,"sku":"9780802128119","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780802128119_p0.jpg?v=1763725500","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780802128119","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
