{"product_id":"9780998197906","title":"Gnarled Bones and Other Stories","description":"In this collection of five short stories, strange and sometimes spooky events have a profound effect on characters' lives. A newly divorced woman goes back to school to begin a new chapter of her life only to find herself circling back to where she started. A woman and her friends spend a day at the circus but the innocent fun mingles childhood nostalgia with brutal fear. A woman ventures out of her isolated apartment one quiet Saturday afternoon to an art exhibit that leaves an eerie imprint on her psyche. A middle-aged violinist reveals the mystery behind his declining artistic powers to a stranger on a train. And the title story weaves journal entries and first-person narrative to paint a picture of the complicated bond between an orphaned brother and sister. These stories leave an impression of the present and future in the shadow of the past.","brand":"Dreambook Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50086424576240,"sku":"9780998197906","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780998197906","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
