Doomed love stories and twisted fairy tales abound in Ruth Joffre’s short story collection, Night Beast. Joffre’s powerful and unsettling book explores both the conventional and unconventional lives of women, while revealing the monsters lurking in all of us as we seek human connection. Author Anna Noyes says “Hypnotic and elegant, Night Beast built to a resonance that resounds in me still. These stories are unforgettable, full of longing and hunger and alert tenderness. Finishing the collection was like waking from a night of disquieting and luminous dreams.” Sponsored by Mason Creative Writing.
