Heart of Glass Craig Wallwork

"I have a rare heart disease that is going to kill me. My mother could be a pedophile, and my girlfriend is killing off every manic depressive and lonely old pensioner with a heart problem this side of town. The only way I can get my head straight is to put a bullet through it."- Jack Glass

Twenty-nine-year-old Jack Glass is cursed. He knows that he will die before he reaches the age of thirty due to a rare genetic heart condition. His birthday is less than two weeks away.

If his life couldn't get any stranger, his girlfriend has involved him in a mortality experiment that involves killing every manic depressive and lonely soul in his town. As each day passes, and Jack draws closer to his own end, he begins to question his girlfriend's motives, and how their lives have become so fortuitously interlinked. But has the weight of all their victims become too much? Is the line between life and death interchangeable? Can one suffer a life worse than death?

Seeking these answers, Jack is forced to accept that however fragile his heart is, the fate of glass is to break.
