{"product_id":"puppets-banquet","title":"Puppet's Banquet","description":"“A chilling, thought-provoking journey into madness and the macabre. Not for the faint of heart, but its impact is undeniable.” Booklist\n“An absolute blissful injury upon the reader's psyche.\" Clay McLeod Chapman, Wake Up and Open Your Eyes\n“Gory, trippy, and weird as f#%k.\" Todd Keisling, The Sundowner's Dance\n\nMarried couple Celia and Martin are brutally attacked on their drive through the Irish countryside. The attack leaves Celia with a violent schism in her mind, seemingly existing in two places at once: one the “real” world, the other a howling maelstrom of abstract monstrosity.\nOf her husband, there is no trace…until weeks later, when Martin is discovered in a hospital for rare and abnormal diseases, his body spliced together with that of an unknown woman.\nAnd they are very pregnant.\nPUPPET’S BANQUET is a “diseased Gothic”; a hallucinatory treatise on medical abuse; the systemic disease of colonialism and patriarchy; and the limits of human perception.\nCover art by Donna A. Black.\nInterior illustrations by Trevor Henderson.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1959790315\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1959790315.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Loughcrewe, Valkyrie\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: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
