{"product_id":"book-ji2g","title":"Mrs. Midnight - And Other Stories (Unabridged)","description":"A TV reality show host helps to restore an East End music hall and uncovers the dreadful secret of Mrs Midnight and her Animal Comedians. . . . A historian travels to Switzerland to ghost the autobiography of an exiled Balkan king and encounters a sinister cult. . . . The Master of an Oxford college tries to introduce a dubious piece of modern sculpture into his college chapel with dire consequences. . . . A strange meeting takes place on a playing field between an officer on leave from the trenches and his former headmaster. . . . The settings and characters in Reggie Oliver's fifth collection of 'strange' stories are as varied and unusual as ever, though, as in previous volumes, the theatre forms the milieu of a number of his tales. But the theatres are not just English ones, in the provinces and the West End: one is on the Black Sea; another in post-colonial Kenya. Themes are equally varied, but underlying all is a deep sense of the spiritual under-currents just below the surface of everyday existence, and the precariousness of 'normality'.\nReggie Oliver is an English playwright, biographer and writer of ghost stories. His work has appeared in a number of anthologies, including the Year's Best Fantasy and Horror and The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror.\nContent: A Piece of Elsewhere \/ Countess Otho \/ Meeting with Mike \/ Minos or Rhadamanthus \/ Mr. Pigsny \/ Mrs. Midnight \/ The Brighton Redemption \/ The Dancer in the Dark \/ The Giacometti Crucifixion \/ The Look \/ The Mortlake Manuscript \/ The Philosophy of the Damned \/ You Have Nothing to Fear.","brand":"Findaway World, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49395131482416,"sku":"BDji2g","price":16.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/641084-ji2g-Square.jpg?v=1735396668","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ji2g","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
