{"product_id":"the-afflictions-9781941360026","title":"The Afflictions","description":"\u003cp\u003eShadowing an elderly librarian on his first day at the great Central Library  Mximo is thrilled to get a peek at the exclusive Encyclopedia of Medicine. Its a dizzying collection of maladies: an amnesia that causes everyone youve ever met to forget you exist  while you remain perfectly  painfully aware of your history. A wound that grows with each dark thought or evil deed you commit but shrinks with every act of kindness. A disease that causes your body to imitate death  stopping your heart  cooling your blood. Will the fit pass before they bury you-or after? As Mximo soon discovers  medicine at the Central Library may be more than he bargained for. The Afflictions is a magical compendium of pseudo-diseases  an encyclopedia of archaic medicine written by a contemporary physician and scientist. Little by little  these bizarre and mystical afflictions frame an eternal struggle: between human desire and the limits of bodily existence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45650506874933,"sku":"ByrdShop_1941360025","price":99.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781941360026.jpg?v=1781798216","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-afflictions-9781941360026","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
