{"product_id":"9781940436449","title":"Three Masquerades: Novellas by Rachel Ingalls","description":"\"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe fiction of Rachel Ingalls has haunted me for years. The plots are dramatic, even exaggerated, but the books are quiet and short. The language is plain but curious. I’ve gathered here three works of hers. Two of these are frightening and one less so, although I sometimes change my mind about which one that is.\u003c\/i\u003e —from the Introduction by Daniel Handler\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaniel Handler assembled this collection from Rachel Ingalls’ wide selection of novellas as a perfect introduction to her beguiling talent. \u003ci\u003eI See a Long Journey\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOn Ice\u003c\/i\u003e, novellas Mr. Handler considers basically perfect, originally appeared with a third, \u003ci\u003eBlessed Art Thou\u003c\/i\u003e, a story he considers to be in an entirely different tone. He felt that \u003ci\u003eFriends in the Country\u003c\/i\u003e from Ms. Ingalls’ later collection, \u003ci\u003eThe End of Tragedy\u003c\/i\u003e, was a more natural companion to the two earlier works. The author happily agreed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catapult","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040449183984,"sku":"9781940436449","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781940436449_p0.jpg?v=1763668607","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781940436449","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
