{"product_id":"9781778430541","title":"Dead Writers : Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Though the four novellas comprising Dead Writers vary tremendously in style and subject matter, they all evoke a delicious, spine-tingling sense of dread. These tales take readers on a head spinning journey through the inner workings of a cruel colonial school, all the way to a creepy contemporary vacation rental, never losing sight of the selfish, unscrupulous, and inescapable aspects of human behaviour. This is a collection that will keep you turning pages, but that will also make you wonder: Are the pages turning you?\"—Allegra Hyde, author of The Last Catastrophe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this collaborative fiction project, four writers navigate the protean concept of the \"bargain\" in novella-length stories. A biographer surveying the career of a \"haunted\" literary figure, a lovelorn journalist entering into a diabolic covenant, a tourist attempting to stay sober through her holiday travels, and a doctor's complicity in a colonial scandal: These horror-inflected offerings of existential dread, tainted pasts, and uncertain futures serve as an unbalancing reminder that there is always a high price to pay for the corruption of the soul.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Invisible Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867948757227,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":32.87,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781778430541-1.jpg?v=1781702078","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781778430541","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
