Mostly Nice Monsters: (And a Few Nasties)
Monsters walk among us. And many of them are surprisingly ... nice. Sure, there are a few nasty ones, but you're bound to find a bad apple in every bunch.
If you lean towards the softer side of the supernatural - but still crave a side of traditional terror - this genre-blending collection introduces you to vampires who need bail money, ghosts who give pep talks in bar bathrooms, and half-demon musicians who play with "soul."
In Mostly Nice Monsters, each short story can be enjoyed as a standalone adventure. However, if you read the collection in its entirety, you'll see a larger world of creatures connected by friendship, grief, found family, and the chaos of being not-quite-human in a human world.
Inside, you'll meet...
"Mrs. Doogan," a quiet neighborhood's mean old lady who's much older and meaner than you think.A feisty philanthropist who must track down her stolen pooch before the full moon rises, joined by a skeptical detective and a rather unorthodox priest in "Daddy."An ancient "Djinn of the Computer," who recounts his cruel imprisonment and how humanity's digital dependence may pave his path to freedom.Joe, a neurotic young man rebounding from a bad breakup, who hasn't seen "The Last of Her" - if a supernaturally-charged smartphone has anything to say about it.And many more.
If you're an adult who grew up reading Goosebumps and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, or cut your teeth on classic episodes of Twilight Zone and Tales From the Darkside, these 17 stories will satisfy your nostalgic yearnings, alternately giving you the creeps and a case of the warm n' fuzzies.
