Hag
Gwendolyn Gibbons wants what any 900-year-old woman wants. A rent-controlled apartment, access to a large supply of painkillers, and the occasional one-night stand—who she’ll probably murder to preserve her eternal youth.
But after the first good date she’s had in centuries doesn’t end in manslaughter… well, that’s where things get tricky. Now, it’s a battle between love and longevity as Gwen risks becoming the crusty old hag she really is. Warts and all.
