{"product_id":"9781434442932","title":"The Second Achmed Abdullah Megapack: 17 Classic Stories","description":"If you've picked up this volume, you may already be familiar with Achmed Abdullah's work from the first volume, \"The Achmed Abdullah Megapack.\" If not, no harm done; both Megapacks contain short stories which can be read in any order. The only real difference is that Volume 1 contains quite a few supernatural stories, while Volume 2 focuses more on \"contemporary\" (early 1900s) life in exotic locales, like the Middle East, China, and New York City (primarily in Chinatown). Crime is frequently touched upon; many of these stories qualify as mysteries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE EVENING RICE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE HATCHETMAN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFEUD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREPRISAL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE HOME-COMING\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE DANCE ON THE HILL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE RIVER OF HATE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SOUL OF A TURK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMORITURI\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE JESTER\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE STRENGTH OF THE LITTLE THIN THREAD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGRAFTER AND MASTER GRAFTER\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE LOGICAL TALE OF THE FOUR CAMELS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE TWO-HANDED SWORD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBLACK POPPIES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE PERFECT WAY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTAO\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA note for the sensitive: Some of these stories are not \"politically correct\" by today’s standards.
