{"product_id":"book-aw6a","title":"Vampires in the Lemon Grove","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom the author of the instant New York Times best seller Swamplandia! (a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize), a dazzling new collection of stories that showcases Karen Russell's gifts at their inimitable best.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the collection's marvelous title story, two aging vampires in a sun-drenched Italian lemon grove find their hundred-year marriage tested when one of them develops a fear of flying. In \"The Seagull Army Descends on Strong Beach, 1979,\" a dejected teenager discovers that the universe is communicating with him through talismanic objects left in a seagull's nest. \"Proving Up\" and \"The Graveless Doll of Eric Mutis\"--stories of children left to fend for themselves in dire predicaments--find Russell veering into more sinister territory, and ultimately crossing the line into full-scale horror. In \"The New Veterans,\" a massage therapist working with a tattooed war veteran discovers she has the power to heal by manipulating the images on his body. In all, these wondrous new pieces display a young writer of superlative originality and invention coming into the full range and scale of her powers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eList of Stories and Readers:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eVampires in the Lemon \u003c\/i\u003eGrove read by Arthur Morey\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReeling for the Empire\u003c\/i\u003e read by Joy Osmanski \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Seagull Army Descends on Strong Beach, 1979\u003c\/i\u003e read by Kaleo Griffith \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eProving Up\u003c\/i\u003e read by Jesse Bernstein \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Barn at the End of Our Term\u003c\/i\u003e read  by Mark Bramhall \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDougbert Shackleton's Rules of Antarctic Tailgating\u003c\/i\u003e read by Michael Bybee \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New Veterans\u003c\/i\u003e read by Romy Rosemont \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Graveless Doll of Eric Mutis\u003c\/i\u003e read by Robbie Daymond","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49337900859696,"sku":"BDaw6a","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/164279-aw6a-Square.jpg?v=1733981777","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-aw6a","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
