{"product_id":"mcsweeneys-71-the-monstrous-and-the-terrible","title":"McSweeney's 71 : The Monstrous and the Terrible","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eOur first-ever issue-length foray into horror, and featuring one of our biggest lineups in some time, our seventy-first issue is one for the ages. Guest edited by Brian Evenson, McSweeney's 71: \u003ci\u003eThe Monstrous and the Terribl\u003c\/i\u003ee is a hair-raising collection of fiction that will challenge the notion of what horror has been, and suggest what twenty-first-century horror is and can be. And it's all packaged in a mind-bending, nesting-doll-like series of interlocking slipcases that must be seen to be believed.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e There's Stephen Graham Jones's eerie take on the alien abduction story, Mariana Enríquez's haunting tale of childhood hijinks gone awry, and Jeffrey Ford on a writer who loses control of his characters. Nick Antosca (cocreator of the award-winning TV series \u003ci\u003eThe Act\u003c\/i\u003e) spins out a novelette about the hidden horrors of wine country. There's Kristine Ong Muslim exploring environmental horror in the Philippines; a sharp-edged folk tale by Gabino Iglesias, and Diné writer Natanya Ann Pulley reimagining sci-fi horror from an indigenous perspective. Hungarian writer Attila Veres proffers a dark take on the not-so-hidden sociopathy of multi-level marketing. And Erika T. Wurth explores the dark gaps leading to other worlds. If that weren't enough: an excerpt from a new novel by Brandon Hobson; a chilling allegorical horror story by Senaa Ahmad; a Lovecraftian bildungsroman by Lincoln Michel; unsettling dream cities from Nick Mamatas; M. T. Anderson's exceptionally weird take on babysitting; and, improbably, much more.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43586279178437,"sku":"","price":70.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/McSweeney_s_20Issue_2071_20_McSweeney_s_20Quarterly_20Concern.jpg?v=1716779259","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/mcsweeneys-71-the-monstrous-and-the-terrible","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
