{"product_id":"nightmare-and-nostalgia-joan-carol-bird-9781492847601","title":"Nightmare and Nostalgia: Fifteen Wicked Little Ghost Stories","description":"If ghosts represent incarnations of their former identities trapped in a dreamlike state, are they still subject to corporeal emotions: fear, anger, melancholy, lust, longing, love, or vengeance? And are ghosts only meaningful when juxtaposed against the living, still playing their phantom hands through spiritual agency? This collection of short ghost stories demonstrates an assortment of ethereal experiences. Asylum inmates lying in wait for a pair of urban spelunkers. An authentic phantom who makes herself at home in a Halloween funhouse. A doppelganger. A pair of skeletons, sold at auction. A pioneer family of the undead, protecting their ancient cemetery. Settings of these stories range from Britain to America to Peru. Ghosts manifest in both human and animal form. And the living act equally as advocates and adversaries of the dead and their material remnants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joan Carol Bird\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1492847607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781492847601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001","brand":"Joan Carol Bird","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458843881727,"sku":"9781492847601","price":9.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5be3a8ce-d024-400c-b8c0-a41b4851add0.jpg?v=1777406968","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nightmare-and-nostalgia-joan-carol-bird-9781492847601","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
