Catch up with the original monster-human couple, Danny and Wyn, in their Wastes-style adventures. Witness Moth and Wyn's blossoming and potentially concerning friendship. Find out all the new ways Edin has been frustrating Hunter (lovingly) since their story ended. And join Lor and Jugs in welcoming a new furry addition to their monster-world family. Want to find out more about Wyn's ex Orlith? In this collection, you can take a peek at some very old letters between the two telyths, hear Orlith's historic (pre-Danny) attempts to seduce our favorite grumpy Soul Eater, and meet his uptight and righteous older sibling. Ruke, A Monstrous Novella In the brand new novella Ruke, human Jamie finally finds the one being he can trust after a lifetime of loneliness… I was born the night monsters rose on earth. I'm a true child of the new world. I've never met a single other soul except for my dad, who decided to keep us out here in the Wastes when he escaped with me from the hospital that catastrophic night. But now Dad's gone, and I'm alone. Completely alone. I don't trust humans—not raiders, not the military, not all the people living in those big dirty coastal cities—so I find the most remote spot I can to settle down and live out the rest of my life on my own, just like my dad always taught me was safest. I'm not on my own out here. Something is here with me—someone is leaving me strange gifts by my campfire every night. And suddenly, I realize that I don't want to be alone anymore. I don't want them to go. When he finally shows himself to me, I realize that my mystery companion out here isn't human. And that suits me just fine. This is a collection of short stories set within the Monstrous universe, a post-apocalyptic m/m fantasy series that features monsters and human men falling in love. It is best to listen to the series in order. For mature listeners.
