A sexual fetish takes an ominous turn from boyhood to adulthood. A meth-addicted middle-aged man hangs on to life and sanity in order to receive visits from his long-dead mother. And a desperate man kidnaps his terminally-ill romantic rival in hopes of receiving an atonement he may not deserve.\u003cbr\u003eThomas Kearnes, with over 125 published stories to his credit, has established himself as one of the most divisive and prolific short story authors in indie publishing. In \u003cem\u003eDeath by Misadventure\u003c\/em\u003e, he introduces the reader to indelible characters in shocking situations through seventeen stories that first appeared in venues as diverse as Berkeley Fiction Review, Black Dandy, Pseudopod, TIMBER, Word Riot and more. Prepare to have your worst nightmares come to life.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Kearnes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1943201552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781943201556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dark Ink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Thomas Kearnes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050684084479,"sku":"9781943201556","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_83f04c4e-5d8e-4492-bd2d-395dadd73dd3.jpg?v=1685008643","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/death-by-misadventure-thomas-kearnes-9781943201556","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
