That churning, clawing, ravenous yearning: the hunger to be held, and seen, and known. And the terror, 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 recognized as the monstrous thing you are. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTwo teenage girls working at a sinister roadside attraction called the Eternal Staircase explore its secrets--and their own doomed summer love. A zombie rooster plays detective in a missing persons case. 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. A pack of middle schoolers turn to the occult to rid themselves of a hated new classmate. And a pair of 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn these lush, strange, beautifully written stories, GennaRose Nethercott explores human longing 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGENNAROSE NETHERCOTT is the author of a novel, \u003ci\u003eThistlefoot\u003c\/i\u003e, and a book-length poem, \u003ci\u003eThe Lumberjack's Dove\u003c\/i\u003e, which was selected by Louise Gl?k as a winner of the National Poetry Series.
