About This Item
First edition hardcover, with dust jacket, published by Hyperion, 2004. The dust jacket is intact and is not price clipped. 324 pages, black boards, over turquoise colored cloth covered spine. The boards are flat and the corners are not bumped or creased. Author's second novel, a terrifying thriller about the search for a serial killer. The dust jacket has some creasing to the head of the spine, and a spot of the coating on the jacket has been lifted where a book store price sticker was removed - no damage to the cover art though. The dust jacket has been protected with a clear, removable cover. No former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. The binding is tight and square. The edges of the text block are clean. Not a library discard, not a remainder. The attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory.
Synopsis
THE BONE PARADE introduces Ashley Stassler—not your average artist. While wildly praising him for his sculptures that depict families with gruesome, tortured expressions, the art world cannot even guess at how he came to create the series: “They moved here from Pennslyvania. Harrisburg to be precise. Public records are extraordinarily revealing. I always use them. I simply don’t want a family that’s moved from one side of town to the other, or from two streets over. Better they’ve made a big move, far from those who know them or might miss them in an hour, an evening, or on the day that follows. Give me a day and I'm gone for good. And so are they. Never...to...return.”Methodical, calculating, and detached during his usual kidnappings and murders (by which he literally bronzes his victims at the moment of their utmost despair), he lets himself go with family #9, developing a liking to the unorthodox and outspoken teenage daughter, who seems to be taunting him with her every move. With each day that he lets them survive, waiting for the perfect moment to come to pass for his next creation, family #9 will make him question how much he is in control of his own creation.
