Such Sharp Teeth

In this riveting and insightful story from the author of Cackle and The Return, a young lady in need of change discovers her inner beast.

Even though Rory Morris is returning to her hometown temporarily, she isn't excited about it. It's the place of horrible recollections. Rory returns to the town she thought she'd placed in her rearview mirror, but her twin sister Scarlett needs help since she's pregnant and has a falling out with the baby's father. She smashes a big animal with her automobile after spending the evening at a pub where she nearly runs with an old sweetheart. She is assaulted when she ventures outside to look around.

Despite Rory's remarkable survival, things start to change in his life. She has an aversion to silver and is very powerful, and all of a sudden the moon has her under its control. She is transforming into a different person, maybe even a monster. Does it imply, however, that she is endangering people who are close to her? Or is the secret to acceptance lying in embracing her inner wildness?

This darkly humorous tale of love is a masterfully multi-layered depiction of fragility, wrath, and pain.
