{"product_id":"destroy-all-monsters-and-other-stories-9780803236448","title":"Destroy All Monsters and Other Stories","description":"Winner of the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Fiction, Greg Hrbek's \u003ci\u003eDestroy All Monsters, and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection that explores what it means to be human--and inhuman. These ten stories have won an array of honors--and whether set in the historical past or in a speculative future, each is wildly imaginative and shockingly real. \u003cbr\u003eIn \"Sagittarius,\" selected for \u003ci\u003eThe Best American Short Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, a mother and father search a dark forest for their missing newborn, who is either a child with profound birth defects or a miraculous creature. In \"False Positive,\" a ghostly girl visits her biological father ten years after being aborted in utero. In \"Bereavement,\" a marriage is falling apart following a child's accidental death, but a combination of myth and technology provides hope for a second life. Fantastic, horrific, painfully familiar, these stories are the work of a consummate storyteller.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Hrbek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.55h x 5.56w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803236448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2011 pg. 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2011 pg. 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAsimov's Science Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2012 pg. 109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreg Hrbek is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Hindenburg Crashes Nightly\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the James Jones First Novel Award.
