With a new Beauty and the Beast movie hitting theaters in spring 2017 it's time to catch up on
all things Beastly. Find out what it was like for the beast in Alex Flinn's contemporary
retelling of the classic tale. I am a beast. A beast. Not quite wolf or bear gorilla or dog
but a horrible new creature who walks upright-a creature with fangs and claws and hair
springing from every pore. I am a monster. You think I'm talking fairy tales? No way. The place
is New York City. The time is now. It's no deformity no disease. And I'll stay this way
forever-ruined-unless I can break the spell. Yes the spell the one the witch in my English
class cast on me. Why did she turn me into a beast who hides by day and prowls by night? I'll
tell you. I'll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury the guy you wished you were with
money perfect looks and the perfect life. And then I'll tell you how I became perfectly . .
. beastly.
