The shopping product is a collection of six tales that will take you on a journey through various genres, including vampire stories, miracle legends, saints' legends, epistles, beatitudes, and jazz minutiae, all within a contemporary faux-gospel.

Each tale is crafted with precision and care, showcasing the author's mastery of language and storytelling.

"Lapland, or Film Noir" takes you on a dark journey to a place of paranoid crime movies made in Los Angeles between 1948 and 1956, while "The Geezers" withholds crucial information about the protagonists' actions, instead focusing on their reactions to the consequences.

"Donald Duck" is a surreal study of how a family can be changed irrevocably by one reckless member.

The final tale, "Mr.

Aickman's Air Rifle," reveals itself in clever homage as the author deliberately assumes the mantle of a great and respected elder with felonious intentions.

This collection is Straub at his best, and it will leave you spellbound and wanting more.
