{"product_id":"little-lugosi-douglas-ford-9781955745161","title":"Little Lugosi: A Love Story","description":"From the author of Ape in the Ring and The Reattachment comes a tale of transgressive love and unnatural birth. When Madeline senses something missing from her life with Trevor, she tries to fill the gulf between them by ordering a leech from a medical supply company. Troubled by this new pet and the special feedings it requires, Trevor must also deal with his co-worker's Ahab-like obsession with killing a monstrous pig, a creature of myth known as \"The Minister.\" Finding this creature brings Trevor to a reckoning with the truth behind the arcane beliefs and practices of a lost cult, as well as the meaning behind problems much closer to home. With undertones of folk horror, Little Lugosi: A Love Story, is a bizarro odyssey of blood and other bodily fluids. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Little Lugosi is probably the sickest leech story ever written - as hilariously wrong as you'd expect in the hands of Douglas Ford - but the premise delivers so much more. Ford's plot is bizarrely riveting, as the author splashes as playful as a satanically-possessed piglet in the dark, bloody waters of neo-folk horror, spiraling deeper and darker than you'll want to go, but oh you will join him in the forest of gloom. The Minister beckons...dare you pray?\" - Michael Arnzen, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Play Dead and Grave Markings \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWinner of the Literary Nasties Long Fiction Award, 2023!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Ford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1955745161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781955745161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Madness Heart Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Douglas Ford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075065245951,"sku":"9781955745161","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf9ed9a1-1e54-439d-bf45-34a70cc88ef6.jpg?v=1685457401","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/little-lugosi-douglas-ford-9781955745161","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
