#MonsterRomance lovelies, go go go!! 🤩

Given to the Ghoul is my all-time favorite monster novella. Like, any time someone asks for a short but satisfying monster rom. — this is the one I recommend for people that don’t mind a little gore with their inhuman love interests. 😈

THE FEAST OF DEAD MAN’S HOLLOW. Sleepy Hollow meets The Girl With The Green Ribbon. Hot springs. Foggy glasses. Scythes. Are heads really fifteen pounds? Epilogue p3gging. What happens in the bog stays in the bog.

GIVEN TO THE GHOUL. She names names. He unalives her enemies, gifts her their skulls, and it makes great garden decor.
