{"product_id":"the-vampire-of-the-val-de-grace-leon-gozlan-9781612271231","title":"The Vampire of the Val-de-Grace","description":"In 1849, the mysterious Doctor Salomon Kanali and his family arrive in a Paris ravaged by a cholera epidemic. But is this Kanali the same embalmer who claimed to have the power to resurrect the dead? And why does his wife fear that her daughter Marthe is being wooed by the same vampire who once destroyed her mother? The Vampire of Val-de-Gr ce (1862) is a horror story, a love story, a mystery, a comedy and, marginally, a scientific romance; unique in its excess and its bizarre absurdity, it has a certain precious verve and a capacity to make the jaw drop.It belongs to the cynical and tongue-in-cheek tradition of Ponson du Terrail's The Vampire and the Devil's Son (1853) and Paul F val's Knighshade (1860), which teasingly refuse explicitly to confirm or deny the existence of vampires, but play extravagantly with the idea, while merrily exploiting its sinister fascination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leon Gozlan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612271235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612271231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hollywood Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Leon Gozlan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939157770495,"sku":"9781612271231","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_de739243-270b-4696-ace3-c5b0f546440d.jpg?v=1681439835","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-vampire-of-the-val-de-grace-leon-gozlan-9781612271231","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
