{"product_id":"9781933065588","title":"The Very Best of Barry N. Malzberg","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor nearly half a century, Barry N. Malzberg has been stretching the boundaries of the science fiction and fantasy genres to tell truly entertaining tales. In a collection of fiction that Malzberg himself considers his very best, this anthology showcases a literary career spanning almost 50 years, dozens of novels, hundreds of stories, and countless classic books. Each of the 32 stories in this compilation offers Malzberg’s trademark vision of a future that is equal parts cautionary tale and social commentary. In the fictional world depicted in one story, dreams turn into frightening trips through time to reveal an ultimate horror; in another the rules in a war game change with every flip of the manic military command. Including pieces appearing for the first time in book form alongside rediscovered gems, these hand-picked selections exhibit his versatile imagination and the dark humor so characteristic of his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NonStop Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151466217712,"sku":"9781933065588","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781933065588_p0.jpg?v=1763640177","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781933065588","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
