Description
In the fog-shrouded streets of San Francisco the fates draw together River, a gifted baker whose treats can heal broken hearts, and Pamela, a mysterious waitress with an impossible secret.
When a series of mysterious deaths rocks the Castro district, the city is gripped by fear. Bodies are found drained of blood, bearing strange marks that defy explanation.
River's quest to understand these murders leads him to discover an underground network of immortal beings, ancient Gods, and Lenni Lenape ghosts, lurking just beneath the city's surface.
His journey will take him from the redwood-shadowed hills of Marin to the neon-lit streets of the Tenderloin, from underground morgues to forgotten tunnels beneath the city. With only his faithful crow Huck and the ghost of his uncle Ryo to guide him, River must confront shocking truths about love, mortality, and the thin line between predator and prey.
Weaving together Greek mythology, San Francisco history, and supernatural romance, "Gods and Monsters" is a haunting tale of eternal love, devastating choices, and the price of immortality.
This sweeping urban fantasy explores what it means to be human in a world where humanity itself may be optional. It's a tale of impossible choices, undying love, and the eternal question of whether we control our destiny.

Advance Praise
“E. E. King is a genius storyteller. Gods and Monsters is pure
magic.” — Elizabeth Wong, playwright (China Doll)
“Your book is one of the most impressive pieces I’ve read in
perhaps years.” — Adam Tyler Moshinsky, author, book reviewer, English professor
“This is a stunning read, and I highly recommend it!” — Elizabeth Frenette, author, book reviewer
“This is a beautifully written book—endlessly fascinating, telling
small stories, but only creating a larger picture in retrospect once the
reader has finished. This book is definitely worth your time.” — Gilbert Stack, author, book reviewer
“Combines the dark mythology of fantasy with the dangerous
social commentary of Hunter S. Thompson. A masterpiece of the
genre.” — MetaStellar Magazine
