The Monster Botherer

  Eldritch Horrors are more my fated mate’s cup of tea, but I can never resist a monster, I welcome them in all shapes, sizes and sanity loss percentages. “The King in Red”, very heavily influenced by “The King in Yellow” by Robert W. Chambers, follows Jade, an introverted, studious and incredibly lonely twenty something college student as she discovers a discarded play in the student library, researches it, finds out it’s pretty much cursed and somehow killed a few people so reads it anyway. In her dreams, she meets “The King” and feels a connection. This continues for a week, with nightly self pleasure sessions after every meeting, she quickly becomes obsessed with this man from her dreams, despite the fact she’s never seen his face.  While the “curse” usually takes a week to kill off lesser mortals, Jade is still alive and kicking after the time frame, despite being entranced by those red lights she sees everywhere, but after falling asleep she is pulled into The King's wor...

  Don’t you hate it when you find your boyfriend cheating on you with your assistant and to cope you drown your sorrows and take advice from your rubber duck to buy a possibly haunted hot springs. Yeah me too.  When Sylvia arrives in Grizzlywood Springs she’s confronted with a dilapidated and outdated hot springs, a cutthroat competitor and an incubus who wants to help, as long as he gets something in return. Sylvia agrees, she can use all the help she can get. As Apollo fixes floors, teaches her to use her previously unknown about magic, conspires with abovementioned rubber duck (who Sylvia had turned into a tulpa without realising it) and “recharges” both their batteries with lots of lovely sex, the two grow closer and while the end goal of freeing Apollo from the hot springs grows closer, Sylvia finds that she doesn’t want to lose him.  Oh No! There’s an Incubus in my Hot Spring is a wholesome story, giving slight Twin Peaks vibes (which is never a bad thing) and very ...

  After a long grueling day of my fated mate listening to the song “Fighting Trousers” by Professor Elemental on what seemed to be repeat, I thought I’d take a leaf out of his book and focus in on some gaslamp monster romance. “A Polar Expedition: and Other Stimulating Research Opportunities” by Kass O’ Shire. A headstrong magical scientist wants to find the source of magic, much to her peer’s and superiors' chagrin, but she goes ahead anyway, trudging further and further into places she shouldn’t be. She’s being followed, tracked ,by a polar bear shifter who can’t bear (see what I did there?) to follow his strict orders, captivated by this little stubborn human who only wants to learn. Sirin (our female main character) is plump, nerdy and down to get dirty (in the field. She throws herself into her work, get your mind out of the gutter.) She also knows herself and has the confidence to reach for what she wants. While she has terrible things happen in her life, she doesn’t let it s...
