{"product_id":"roads-of-last-resort-daniel-tyler-gooden-9781532742743","title":"Roads of Last Resort","description":"Thirteen stories in a mix of modern lit, magic surrealism, and outright fantasy: A sniper forgotten by time glimpses the world between shots and hibernation. Beau takes his arsonist grandfather on one last burn. When an airship is fueled by chaotic magic, a young engineer finds accidents are harsh and unforgiving. Old man Kinney has secrets locked away in his head, until dementia makes him forget to forget. When a dead god chooses you for a companion, there is no place to hide. Reliving happy memories, 87 million citizens hibernate as the world decays around them. These...and stranger tales. I have no good explanation for this collection of stories. I wish I could line them up in a particular genre, or trace a common theme between them, but I cannot. Some of these are rooted in dreams, (I woke late one night, terrified, with the words \"wind the horns!\" struggling out of my throat. As I fell asleep again, I dreamed that particular tale) and others just came to me from odd corners. If anything, they are all odd, and for me that is enough. I hope they take you to the same weird places they took me. Thanks for reading. DTG Praise for the 13 stories collected here, and other writings: \"At some point in the story, I found myself almost wishing to be burned, which must mean that this story is doing something remarkable. It's full of great details -- like the sound of Leon's lighter, which manages to be both ominous and seductive. -Matt Williamson, Editor of Unstuck Books. \"Gooden's prose is smooth, his descriptions vivid, his characters deep and engaging. -Scott Colby, author of Shotgun. \"Frequently, fantasy tales fit within certain predictable guidelines. This one is fresh and new\" -CelticCowgirl, Amazon review.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Tyler Gooden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1532742746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781532742743\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 05\/05\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.44d","brand":"Daniel Tyler Gooden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459360043263,"sku":"9781532742743","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d338890e-79f0-4d37-ac86-f817dc7a806b.jpg?v=1777409323","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/roads-of-last-resort-daniel-tyler-gooden-9781532742743","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
