{"product_id":"the-gold-point-and-other-charles-loring-jackson-9781616460853","title":"The Gold Point and Other Strange Stories","description":"Charles Loring Jackson (1847-1935) brought organic chemistry to America, but his scientific intellect was matched by an avid interest in theater and literature. At almost 80 years of age, he published this collection of weird tales, a mix of science fiction, fantasy, and the supernatural. Inanimate objects come to life, a strange island filled with novel creatures is discovered, a ghost seeks revenge, a man travels back and forth between different lives. . . . While Jackson may have been little more than an enthusiastic amateur with his short story writing, there is no doubt that his imagination was, in several points, far ahead of his peers. Certainly, science fiction elements demonstrated his own scientific background. This rare collection is worth a read by serious speculative fiction fans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Loring Jackson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1616460857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781616460853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Coachwhip Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.45d","brand":"Charles Loring Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44169898197247,"sku":"9781616460853","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee2b1153-dd78-45de-851a-1d89fc09682b.jpg?v=1689655565","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gold-point-and-other-charles-loring-jackson-9781616460853","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
