{"product_id":"the-fabulous-beast-garry-kilworth-9781490339603","title":"The Fabulous Beast","description":"A set of beautifully crafted tales of the imagination by a writer who was smitten by the magic of the speculative short story at the age of twelve and has remained under its spell ever since. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These few stories cover three closely related sub-genres: science fiction, fantasy and horror. In the White Garden murders are taking place nightly, but who is leaving the deep foot-prints in the flower beds? Twelve men are locked in the jury room, but thirteen emerge after their deliberations are over. In a call centre serving several worlds, the staff are less than helpful when things go wrong with a body-change holiday. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Three of the stories form a set piece under the sub-sub-genre title of 'Anglo-Saxon Tales'. This trilogy takes the reader back to a time when strange gods ruled the lives of men and elves were invisible creatures who caused mayhem among mortals. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Garry Kilworth has created a set of stories that lift readers out of their ordinary lives and place them in situations of nightmare and wonder, or out among far distant suns. Come inside and meet vampires, dragons, ghosts, aliens, weremen, people who walk on water, clones, ghouls and marvellous wolves with the secret of life written beneath their eyelids. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 'Kilworth's stories are delightfully nuanced and carefully wrought.' \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 'A bony-handed clutch of short stories, addictive and hallucinatory.' \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 'Here is a writer determined and well equipped to contribute to the shudder-count.' \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Garry Kilworth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1490339604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781490339603\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 07\/08\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.61d","brand":"Garry Kilworth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46311060537599,"sku":"9781490339603","price":13.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e06dec1-c5bb-4cdd-914b-552bb8832263.jpg?v=1730887997","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fabulous-beast-garry-kilworth-9781490339603","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
