Meanwhile, in a well-appointed parlour, a group of cantankerous saints unexpectedly materialises, leaving them puzzled about their sudden appearance. In a timeless ritual, ageing fathers are enclosed in pressure-sealed crates and dropped to the bottom of the ocean. Andreasen fearlessly navigates through the realm of lunacy and surrealism, infusing each premise with a joyous absurdity. Despite the unconventional circumstances, such as a sister born without a head or an adulterous tryst resulting in alien abduction, love and protection endure, as does the longing for connection and understanding. The Sea Beast Takes a Lover unfolds in wildly inventive worlds, simultaneously daring and deeply familiar. It explores the human condition through the supernatural and extraordinary, revealing our most vulnerable and humane aspects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 176g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 129 x 197 x 16 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781788545990\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Andreasen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44098385838330,"sku":"9781788545990","price":6.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/8981f07cd44683511a8d1d0a7d7f169e.jpg?v=1631591740","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/sea-beast-takes-a-lover","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
