{"product_id":"little-fortified-stories","title":"Little Fortified Stories","description":"A spinster in love with a tobacco-smoking ghost. A lonely one-eyed monster who wanders the desert. A Medieval saint who delights in her “ miraculous ruine.” In Little Fortified Stories, award-winning writer Barbara Black conjures a microcosm of characters that defy convention. In these very short stories, curious worlds are encapsulated like a series of snow globes, swirling with deep emotion and teeming with strangeness. Inspired by art, music, alcoholic spirits, and what Black calls “ authentic fabrications” from her own ancestry, these eclectic tales are told with an eye to the absurd. Buzzing with hypnotic intensity, Little Fortified Stories presents a world in which everything is theatre and the regular rules don’ t apply.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1773861409\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1773861409.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Black, Barbara\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43366612795453,"sku":"BVV.1773861409.VG","price":6.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1773861409-0.jpg?v=1784412873","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/little-fortified-stories","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
