{"product_id":"volt-stories","title":"Volt: Stories","description":"A blistering collection of stories from an exhilarating new voice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne man kills another after neither will move his pickup truck from the road. A female sheriff in a flooded town attempts to cover up a murder. When a farmer harvesting a field accidentally runs over his son, his grief sets him off walking, mile after mile. A band of teens bent on destruction runs amok in a deserted town at night. As these men and women lash out at the inscrutable churn of the world around them, they find a grim measure of peace in their solitude.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout Volt, Alan Heathcock's stark realism is leavened by a lyric energy that matches the brutality of the surface. And as you move through the wind-lashed landscape of these stories, faint signs of hope appear underfoot. In Volt, the work of a writer who's hell-bent on wrenching out whatever beauty this savage world has to offer, Heathcock's tales of lives set afire light up the sky like signal flares touched off in a moment of desperation.","brand":"Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47855971893474,"sku":"MTO-MACMILLAN-2026-06-3-6.75-300","price":31.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/9898\/5881\/files\/book_299_dhKrdYsZj.jpg?v=1780489104","url":"https:\/\/layitflat.com\/products\/volt-stories","provider":"Lay it Flat Publishing Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
