Lesser Known Monsters (Reviewed by Shane Staley)
With Lesser Known Monsters, one of the few things I was on the fence about was its marketing statement: Lesser Known Monsters is an own voices queer dark fantasy featuring diverse characters on a found family adventure. Perfect for fans of action and paranormal romance seeking LGBTQ+ heroes. I understand why the author presented it […]

Lurid, gory, and mostly terrible, Hendrix read them all and, thanks to his partnership with Valancourt […]
