heartbreaking work of staggering power

1. n. A book or movie, often part of a school curriculum, that is renowned for its symbolism, examination of underlying themes, and emotional impact on the consumer. Consequently, exposure to the material often sends the consumer into a crying jag, using their vice of choice as a source of comfort and avoiding human contact until their deep depression passes.
2. n. A book or movie that leaves the consumer questioning the meaning of life and finding it devoid of all warmth and happiness.
"Have you read 'The Yellow Wallpaper?'"
"Why, yes. I found it to be a heartbreaking work of staggering power."
"...This is going to depress the hell out of me, isn't it?"
"Oh, yeah."

Heartfreaking 

Something so cringeworthy or pitiful it is potentially harmful to the heart;

Something capable of causing palpitations and other diseases of the heart;
"Babygirl made a second account to comment on her own posts, and now she is having convos with herself."
"Oof. Now that is heartfreaking."

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
