Monsters, legends, love, and loss. Immerse yourself in the world of cryptids.
From the author of HOW TO REMEMBER and THE AUTHOR’S GUIDE TO LIBRARIES comes a collection of short stories featuring the monsters of legend that have captivated us for centuries. Each short story investigates a different cryptid, illuminating their unique characteristics and relationships within our mundane world. Let these creatures spark your imagination and explore what might be lurking in the dark around you.
I LOVED THE MOTHMAN AND OTHER STORIES features a reporter traveling to West Virginia and finding herself falling for Mothman, a mother longing to escape the cult she’s been forced into and finding refuge in an unlikely heroine, a couple getting more than they bargained for from their lawn service, and more. Each story takes you further into exploring the depth of the human spirit and the lengths we go to transform ourselves.

Of Gold and Guile
Kaytalin Platt
Love is endless, patient, and god-making.
Monsters ravage the world while Tenele and Rane are summoned to the distant shores of a reclusive kingdom by its handsome and notorious prince—Atul Hajaris. But, just as their peace-keeping venture turns violent, and hope for escape dims, they are rescued by the villainous, princely host who lured them in.
Tenele, Rane, and Atul forge an uneasy alliance when they find themselves at the center of an old and terrible game—one that won’t end until they or the gods are dead. But when only a god can kill a god, what will they give—or share—to become one?
