{"product_id":"the-magnetized-corpse-jules-janin-9781612272481","title":"The Magnetized Corpse","description":"Imbued with a sense of light-hearted cynicism, literary crictic Jules Janin (1804-1874) penned a vast number of eccentric and sometimes improvised fantastic and horror stories, now mostly forgotten. This first-ever American collection gathers a sampler of his unusual talent, as exemplified by the eponymous tale about a dead man kept alive by magnetism, published several months before Poe's \"The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar\" (1845). Other tales gathered here include fake folk legends, paradoxical ghost stories in the vein of ETA Hoffmann, and surreal reflections on the supernatural nature of music. \"Janin was probably closer to Poe in spirit, although his ambition took him in a different direction.\" Brian Stableford.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jules Janin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612272487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612272481\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hollywood Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.62d","brand":"Jules Janin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44584090075391,"sku":"9781612272481","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c633324e-8090-4b05-9ab3-38cb464a2507.jpg?v=1701885249","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-magnetized-corpse-jules-janin-9781612272481","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
