{"product_id":"9781590215531","title":"Lord Byron's Prophecy","description":"\u003cp\u003eLord Byron is troubled. Is his new poem a catharsis of self-loathing at being attracted to other men or an incantation that turns him into an incubus that seeks such sins? Or perhaps something much worse: an apocalyptic prophecy. Present-day Professor Adam Fane is beginning to suffer from what he believes is dementia, which causes him to have the same visions Byron experienced centuries ago. A closeted gay man, Professor Fane interprets these visions to be products of guilt. He's lived for decades with a terrible guilt over the fate of his childhood friend, George, with whom he was in love. His only son, Gordon has grown into more than a passing resemblance of George. Gordon, a star college basketball player, is unaware of his father's past. His heart belongs to a young English professor named Amber, who is a colleague of his father's. As Gordon pursues a relationship with her, he suddenly starts to experience visions similar to those of Byron, as well as a crawling sensation under his skin that makes him fearful of being touched. The interlocking stories of three characters leading parallel lives tells a dark tale of impending personal--and perhaps even global--doom, is written by Sean Eads, a stunning new voice in speculative fiction, whose first novel, \u003cem\u003eThe Survivors\u003c\/em\u003e, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award. \u003cem\u003eLord Byron's Prophecy \u003c\/em\u003ewas a finalist for the Shirley Jackson Award for Best Novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lethe Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50009006440688,"sku":"9781590215531","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590215531","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
