His short stories present a brilliantly dark and audaciously weird realm where cosmic nightmares collide with all-too-human characters and apocalypses of all shapes and sizes loom ominously. In \"Persistence Hunting,\" a lonely distance runner is seduced into a brutal life of crime with an ever-narrowing path for escape. In \"When Susurrus Stirs,\" an unlucky pacifist must stop a horrifying parasite from turning his body into a sentient hive. Running through all of Johnson's work is a hallucinatory vision and deeply-felt empathy, earning the author a reputation as one of today's most daring and thrilling writers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Featuring the best of his independently-published short fiction, as well as an exclusive, never-before-published novella \"The Sleep of Judges\"--where a father's fight against the denizens of a drug den becomes a mind-bending suburban nightmare--\u003ci\u003eEntropy in Bloom\u003c\/i\u003e is a perfect compendium for avid fans and an ideal entry point for adventurous readers seeking the humor, heartbreak, and terror of JRJ's strange new worlds.","brand":"Night Shade Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47158030696688,"sku":"9781597806077","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781597806077_p0.jpg?v=1769901852","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781597806077","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
