{"product_id":"stainless","title":"Stainless","description":"\u003cp\u003eJustine is a vampire. Keith just lives like one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ex-junkie and ex-rock star — he’s let go of his ambitions, his hands mangled by his dead ex’s own jealous ex. It’s true that Justine has been around for a few centuries and Keith barely three decades, but they’re good for each other. Justine is teaching Keith to take the long view; Keith is reminding her how it feels to be alive. Yet a cohort of criminals, desperate artists, dead-enders, hangers-on, and wanna-bes, undead and otherwise, threaten their curious union. Can love stay untainted in a world of monsters?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1996, Todd Grimson’s Stainless is a noir fantasia, a symphony of bloody horror, and a woozy, erotic tour of night-side L.A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“If Raymond Chandler or Flannery O’Connor had written a vampire novel, it might read with the brutal and passionate clarity of Stainless. Layers of corruption are explored and peeled away from the core of a heart-crushing love story. The ultimate late night in L.A.” — Katherine Dunn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“With his writing teeth in the reader’s neck and his tongue in his own cheek, Grimson plunders the bloody fantasy world of vampirism.” — Lynne Tillman“\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe greatest horror writer you’ve never read . . . In Stainless, Todd Grimson set out to write ‘the Ultimate, Final Vampire Novel’—and succeeded . . . Grimson exposes the beating hearts of his characters, even the undead ones. Like its vampire characters, Stainless is a novel that grows stronger with age. We are obsessed with the vampire today because it represents the ideal of our culture... Stainless is a novel waiting to be rediscovered by a generation obsessed with image, even if it costs us our souls.” —Damien Walter, The Guardian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Todd Grimson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57100201525626,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/6778\/8068\/files\/F3D3216A-DF31-44B0-B4A9-BCE1CEEE3758.jpg?v=1784815405","url":"https:\/\/raremags.co.uk\/products\/stainless","provider":"Rare Mags","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
