{"product_id":"crucifax-ray-garton-9781497642584","title":"Crucifax","description":"Originally published in 1988, Ray Garton's fourth novel, following not long after his award-nominated \u003ci\u003eLive Girls\u003c\/i\u003e, is regarded as a classic of the \"splatterpunk\" movement in horror fiction. Garton has a way with teenage boredom, atmospheric small-town isolation, incest, drug abuse, and over-the-top violence and he has managed to create a modern remake of the story of the Pied Piper with a sinister character, Mace (who wears a \"crucifax\" around his neck--a crucifix with an axlike blade on it) appearing on the scene, seducing mixed-up kids with his siren song of pleasure, power, and indulgence, all leading to a horrifically unsettling climax of death and destruction. And then there are the ratlike things that do the piper's bidding . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ray Garton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1497642582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781497642584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Road Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.87d","brand":"Ray Garton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485443207423,"sku":"9781497642584","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6cc88994-1636-48e5-a5ed-6011962fc812.jpg?v=1778049599","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crucifax-ray-garton-9781497642584","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
