Description
Hollywood has thrilled—and titillated—audiences with tales of women who love monsters since King Kong and The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Our love affair with the ultimate “others” continued as we made the acquaintances of Barnabas Collins, Swamp Thing, the Vampire Lestat, Hellboy, and Shrek. Most recently, the genre was celebrated and, ultimately, validated when The Shape of Water won the Academy Award for Best Motion Picture—a rare nod to the power and popularity of paranormal romance story-telling.
It should come as no surprise that when ViceTV decided to do an episode on “Monsters Fantasies,” they came to Riverdale Avenue Books to interview some of those authors in an episode that aired in March 2018.

This was an interesting story. I really liked the concept. I would recommend it.
Karen R, Librarian
Women Who Love Monsters is an exciting anthology from some wonderfully talented authors. I must admit my draw was Cecilia Tan and Trinity Blacio, but the other stories had there own unique style.
As with any multi author book, there are some stories that are more appealing than others, but overall this is a fabulous anthology and well worth reading.

Tiffany C, Reviewer
My fav in this book definitely is The Beast no doubt. It's perfect. Start with the sense of mystery and excitement.
Overall the book is worth reading but really hope The Beast will be full novel in the future.
Marie A, Reviewer
Judging by the way books about shifters, gargoyles and vampires to name just a few, a lot of women want ",monster's. This is a book of short stories that tell of women and the ones they want. There were several that I loved, that had different takes than I have ever read before .One story is about something we see many times everyday. A definite monster that we don't see until it's too late. The stories were great. I immediately went and bought books by the authors. Definitely a book to recommend. I received this book from Net Galley for an honest review and no compensation.
