Once dark and contemporary, it's now antique, green and yellow, and smelling faintly of damp. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIts appearance and origins are a mystery. A joke? An inverted theft? A break in the fabric of reality? Yes, the police take the \"crime\" seriously. But what happens next lies outside their expertise. Strange sounds in the night. A half-bathroom toilet with a mind of its own. Odd, fleeting glimpses of something (or someone) in mirrors. The inexplicable vision of Montessori's neighbor: He swears he saw a burglar. . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMontessori's quest for answers will take him to a dank highway overpass in decayed upstate New York, a very strange dry-cleaning supply concern in outermost Queens, and into the depths of an eerie, warped forest where time and space no longer connect, all while putting his ever-more-troubled marriage and young family in grave danger. But that's what it costs to find out if we own our possessions -- or if they own us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMunson emerges as a master stylist in this tense, taut work of surreal humor and psychological horror.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50102502293727,"sku":"9781953387974","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/sBi-ZbA5MC9781953387974.webp?v=1781083376","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/the-sofa-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
