"Daniel grew up knowing that his family had a gift, and a curse no one else did. It wasn't just the ghost of the family matriarch that haunted him. It was the shadow of witchcraft hanging like a cloud over his head. Ambition, he could have dealt with, protecting his little brother from the political games their father played. Until he saw its true nature for himself. To hurt or kill with just a touch. It was a world he didn't want any part of after witnessing his father kill a man for some insignificant slight. He fled rather than continue playing the game he had been taught since childhood. Only to find himself in the arms of a Calais, Maine teacher. And in the shadow of the illness that had always plagued his family, as much as the power did."--Publisher's description.

The stories in Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart are about the abomination that resides within us all. That churning, clawing, hungry yearning: the desire to be loved, and seen, and known. And the terror of those things too: to be loved too well, or not enough, or for long enough. To be laid bare before your sweetheart, to their horror. To be known and recognized as the monstrous thing you are. Two young women working at a sinister roadside attraction called the Eternal Staircase explore its secrets-and their own doomed summer love. A group of witchy teens concoct the perfect plan to induce the hated new girl into their ranks. A woman moves into a new house with her acclaimed artist boyfriend and finds her body slowly shifting into something specially constructed to accommodate his needs and whims. And two outcasts, a vampire and a goat woman, find solace in each other, even as the world's lack of understanding might bring about its own end. In these lush, beautifully written stories, GennaRose Nethercott explores love in all its diamond-dark facets to create a collection that will redefine what you see as a beast, and make you beg to have your heart broken"--
