{"product_id":"9780803237797","title":"Destroy All Monsters, and Other Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eWinner of the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Fiction, Greg Hrbek’s \u003ci\u003eDestroy All Monsters, and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection that explores what it means to be human—and inhuman. These ten stories have won an array of honors—and whether set in the historical past or in a speculative future, each is wildly imaginative and shockingly real.\u003cbr\u003eIn “Sagittarius,” selected for \u003ci\u003eThe Best American Short Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, a mother and father search a dark forest for their missing newborn, who is either a child with profound birth defects or a miraculous creature. In “False Positive,” a ghostly girl visits her biological father ten years after being aborted in utero. In “Bereavement,” a marriage is falling apart following a child’s accidental death, but a combination of myth and technology provides hope for a second life. Fantastic, horrific, painfully familiar, these stories are the work of a consummate storyteller.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118897348848,"sku":"9780803237797","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780803237797","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
