{"product_id":"the-emissary","title":"The Emissary","description":"This wide-ranging collection of stories by James Beaumont highlights his singular gifts for storytelling, displaying his extraordinary versatility, imagination, and craftsmanship. Each of these stories by this unclassifiable author are like paintings which, once observed, are impossible to forget. Herein you will meet a woman haunted by an invisible sea, discover a Cafe that only appears to certain people, find a coin which bestows its possessor with terrible consequences, encounter a disillusioned artist, and discover a terrible secret in a castle buried underground. All these paintings and more are inside this book, a collection of thirty-two of Beaumont's most arresting tales--timeless short fiction with some stories illustrating the varied elements of the seasons, others analyzing the chimeras of existence. Turn the page and enter this distillation of imagination.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1687557330\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1687557330.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Beaumont, James\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 shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
