Tales from the tomb, retold with a twist. Are you brave enough to peek inside?

If so, light up the lantern, pour a mug of cider, and let us explore where terror breeds thrill…

Within the hallowed hearts of some very wicked things.

1. Scared to Death

After tragedy strikes, Ezekiel Abrams is left alone to stew in his own misery on his family farm. Grief-stricken, he forfeits the life he once knew, searching for solace in the bottom of a bottle.

The only lingering reminder of his lost love is the source of his constant torment.

The scarecrow mocks him, pours gasoline on the flickering flame of his lament. Little does he know, the lifeless being holds a secret…

One he’ll never outrun.

2. Purr For Me

In the woods lived a boy named Peter…

Pyotr is used to being called a dreamer. The boy with romantic ideas grew into a man with a dark obsession. His mischievous side is what earned him the nickname from his grandfather.

They say curiosity killed the cat. But “Purr” is more like a dog with a bone.

There is a real threat to the village. A predator lurking in the shadows, terrorizing the people of the Hallowed Forest. And so the rules are very simple: Kill on sight. Bring his head in exchange for an exorbitant bounty.

But one look at this foreboding creature and Purr has concocted other plans. He will capture The Wolf himself… And keep him.

3. Wrecked

They say the ocean holds a great many treasures…

Sailing the vast sea for months on end could be overwhelming to some. But Andros Van Alden has voyage in his veins. Son of the infamous Bastard of the Bay, Andros was born to be a pirate. And proving himself equally ruthless is an important part of his image.

In this life, reputation is the lock and perception is the key. If he has any hope of making it out of these waters alive, and more importantly, making it out rich, he’ll need to remain vigilant.

Navigating his ship amidst rumors and tall tales is to be expected. But resisting the temptations of his bounty could prove much more challenging…

All while trapped in the looming presence of his childhood nightmares.

4. The Creator's Hand

The end is often a beginning…

The year is 2525. The place, Planet Theobroma.

Here, a race of beings exists, far more advanced than we could have comprehended. The Theobromians plucked one choice human from Earth five hundred years ago, before the planet fell, preserving him for the perfect moment.

Dr. Bastien Krenworth is their new prized possession. A neuroscientist with elaborate knowledge of human psychology, he has been tasked with a very special job… Creating a race of alien clones to inhabit the now uninhabited Planet Earth. The Theobromian government is specific in their requests, the purposes of these clones quite clear…

Love and companionship. War and combat. Reproduction. Entertainment. The list goes on. In fact, it seems the only thing our alien masters haven’t considered is the one thing that could risk their entire operation…

Ownership.

Review

I absolutely loved this collection!

Four MM/MMM monster stories are included in this collection: Scared to Death, Purr for Me, Wrecked and The Creator's Hand. All VERY different from one another. These are all re-tellings, but as Nyla puts it:

"If I'm going to retell something, I'm going to retell it as Nyla K. The fucking weirdo."

And WOW, does she ever!

This book has ALL kinds of monsters to love, from the Angel of Death to the Kraken, you get so many spicy monsters.

I couldn't even pick a favorite story from this if I tried because they are all so different, and I loved every one of them.

I highly recommend, but PLEASE check the trigger warnings and tropes! Not every story may be someone's cup of tea.

Quote that I've never connected with more:

"I sigh out of grumpy disdain for whoever is disrupting my antisocial evening plans, slapping the book down and standing up in reluctance."

Notable Highlights

1. Scared to Death

He's a human; an animal made of the earth. And I'm a monster, composed of grief and decay.

Yes, I am a cold ambassador of death. An entity of agony and destruction. But this human and his warmth have penetrated the barrier of my heart.

I'm doomed to an eternal love. And I've been so enraptured.

2. Purr For Me

Like Mother Nature was patting me on the head and saying, Good boy.

…if he wants to be an impulsive little shit, then he'll find out what happens when wolves and kittens are left alone together in a confined space.

"You are such a pretty little slut. Show me how pretty sluts worship their Daddies."

3. Wrecked

Good and evil are woven together. And the pain is a catalyst, giving way to pleasure.

"So it's either talk to me or go completely insane? I'm flattered."

"You went in there searching for your friends and ended up taking a ride on a sea monster's dick?"

The warning tales of the Kraken never included anything about orgasms that hurl your soul through the infinite reaches of reality... Though I'm sure if they did, people would probably fear him a little less.

"You've had me since you stole me, Wreck. You may have given my body back, but my heart has been with you this whole time."

"I know I should hate this, but it makes me feel special and pretty."

Love is just love, no matter who it sweeps away in its current.

4. The Creator's Hand

Suck that beautiful dick off, you sweet little freak.

"So that's an orgasm? Yea, I'm gonna want more of those."
