{"product_id":"space-city-6-artemis-greenleaf-9781941502983","title":"Space City 6: Houston Stories From the Weird to the Wonderful","description":"Space City 6 is a collection of short stories from the weird to the wonderful, all with a Houston flair. We begin with the birth of Houston in a mosquito-and alligator-people-infested swamp where a mermaid is intent on stopping human encroachment. Fast forward to the 1940's where we join a soldier and his new bride as they struggle with the challenges of separation due to World War II. We take a funny and fantastical turn with a Louisiana transplant who learns the hard way that jackalopes do exist. And they have a penchant for blood and hard liquor. And then we journey to a darker side of the city as we find out what happens when an unstable woman with a loaded gun wreaks havoc on an idyllic community. Follow us on another twist as we explore the ins and outs of discrimination - all the new professor wants is to fit in, but students and faculty shun her as readily as she shuns the light. What's a vampire to do? Finally, travel to the far future on a treasure hunt. The Houston tunnel systems are in ruin and a wealthy real estate tycoon wants to revitalize, but he soon discovers more than just real estate under the rubble. This collection is a must for Houstonians who like to read about their hometown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Artemis Greenleaf,Ellen Leventhal,Kaleigh Castle Maguire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1941502989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941502983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Mare Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Artemis Greenleaf","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48850453528831,"sku":"9781941502983","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/space-city-6-artemis-greenleaf-9781941502983","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
