{"product_id":"9781555846312","title":"Kornwolf: A Novel","description":"Tristan Egolf's new novel is a book about the return of an old curse — the Kornwolf, a ferocious werewolf whose nocturnal rampaging becomes increasingly impossible to ignore. \u003ci\u003eKornwolf\u003c\/i\u003e takes the reader for a good old-fashioned romp in the stubble — a journey through the slums and honky tundra of rural Pennsylvania, where nothing quite passes for good or bad, sublime or dismal, discrete or brash. And then the monotony breaks. Something — a freak of creation — is running amok in the fields. To solve the mystery, three generations of prodigal sons — a writer and hometown boy who swore he'd never come back to Penn's Woods; a middle-aged former pugilist who runs a decrepit boxing gym; and a misfit, mute, beaten-down Amish boy — are brought together by the light of a blue moon, in a town called Blue Ball. On one level this is a masterfully orchestrated, hilarious, and compelling take on the classic horror yarn, on another, \u003ci\u003eKornwolf\u003c\/i\u003e is a social satire of suburban sprawl, closed minds, and all manners and varieties of self-satisfaction — Amish, civilian, or... \u003ci\u003eother\u003c\/i\u003e — in the best tradition of Tom Robbins and George Saunders.","brand":"Grove\/Atlantic, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47132475588848,"sku":"9781555846312","price":11.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781555846312_p0.jpg?v=1763754348","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781555846312","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
