{"product_id":"9781909923119","title":"Moju: The Blind Beast","description":"In Edogawa Rampo's \"Moju: The Blind Beast\", a deranged, scarred and sightless sculptor kidnaps a model and imprisons her in a psychedelic labyrinth of giant sculpted eyes and other outlandish body parts, before dismembering her in a fearful blood-orgy. Her limbs, head and torso are later found scattered throughout Tokyo. The blind killer continues his sexually-charged spree of amputation and decapitation, claiming several more victims before finally presenting his work at an acclaimed art exhibition in which the sculptures are a little too life-like for comfort... The most disturbing of Rampo's novels, \"Moju: The Blind Beast\" is a classic of grinding horror and weird sex, tainted with a virulent black humour. It represents one of the earliest literary examples of the Japanese \"erotic-grotesque\" genre, in which such subjects as dismemberment, mutilation, coprophilia and cannibalism are presented in a perverse sexual context. This is a special ebook presentation of the first-ever English translation of Rampo's classic.","brand":"Elektron Ebooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179264983280,"sku":"9781909923119","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781909923119_p0.jpg?v=1763625783","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781909923119","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
