Download Monstrous Affections: An Anthology of Beastly Tales AudioBook Free
Predatory kraken that sing with - and then for - their kin; band people and betrayed friends who are actually demonic; harpies as more likely to attract concerning repel. Welcome to a world where humans live with monsters, from vampires both nostalgic and bumbling, to a eight-legged alien who makes tea. Here you'll find mercurial varieties that burrow into warm unwanted fat, spectral boy playthings, a Maori make of characteristics, a landform that claims lives, and an architect of hell on the planet. Through these, and some monsters that defy categorization, a few of today's top young-adult writers explore ambition and sacrifice, loneliness and trend, love requited and avenged, and the boundless potential for interconnection, even across extreme borders. Kelly Hyperlink and Gavin J. Offer have brought jointly 15 of the premier voices in speculative fiction to explore the intersection of dread and love - in a haunting, at times amusing, darkly imaginative volume level.

Anderson, Paolo Bacigalupi, Nathan Ballingrud, Holly African american, Sarah Rees Brennan, Cassandra Clare, Nalo Hopkinson, Dylan Horrocks, Nik Houser, Kathleen Jennings, Alice Sola Kim, Joshua Lewis, Kelly Hyperlink, Patrick Ness, and G.
