Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance

A tale of magic, love, and the extraordinary woven into the fabric of everyday life
Ruth Emmie Lang's magical realism debut Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance follows Weylyn Grey, an orphan raised by wolves and the proud owner of a horned pig named Merlin. Weylyn always knew he was different, but when he single-handedly stops a tornado on a stormy Christmas day in Oklahoma, he realizes just how unique his powers truly are.
As amazing as these abilities may appear, they tend to manifest at inopportune times and places, jeopardizing not only Weylyn's life, but also the life of Mary, the woman he loves. Told from the perspectives of those who knew him best, Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance weaves together the stories of Weylyn's impact on others' lives, from great storms that evaporate into thin air to fireflies that produce phosphorescent honey.
There is one story, however, that Weylyn wishes he could change: his own. But first, he must find the courage to knock on Mary's front door. Lang's enchanting novel explores the magic that exists in the ordinary world and the extraordinary circumstances that can bring people together.
