The tales skip across genres at breakneck speed, mixing humor and pathos with fantasy, sometimes in settings that juxtapose gritty reality with magical realism. Throughout, Spotte scrapes aside the thin patina of everyday existence, offering a glimpse into the strange abyssal world of his imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Spotte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1948598108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948598101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Books Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.45d","brand":"Stephen Spotte","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800685654271,"sku":"9781948598101","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/invisible-stephen-spotte-9781948598101","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
