Each story centres on both original and familiar monsters and creatures— including Mothman, Carabosse, a girl with thirteen shadows, a living house, werebeasts, gorgons, sirens, angels, and many others— and their stories of love, self-acceptance, resilience, and empowerment. This collection is a bold, transformative celebration of queerness and the creatures that (mostly) go bump in the night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContributors include editor Rob Costello, Kalynn Bayron, David Bowles, Shae Carys, H.E.
