Asadora! V02 by Niaoki Urasawa

by Leave a Comment

Asadora! V02 starts with a short flashforward to “now” (or the “now” of the story), we are teased by a theme introduced but not explored in book one. Two scientists find a clue to proving Asa might not have been seeing things the day of the tsunami that destroyed her home and tore her family apart. We then go to where we left off in book one continuing Asa’s story of trying to help others by flying over the flooded town, dropping food to those […]

D is not just for Dog any more.

D Is for Drool: My Monster Alphabet by Amanda Noll

by Leave a Comment

D Is for Drool: My Monster Alphabet is from the I Need My Monster series.  The lead singers are Amanda Noll and Shari Dash Greenspan with Howard McWilliam on illustrations. We the reader find out that T is for Tentacles, D is for Drool, C is for Claws, and each lyrical letter gets its own monster worded page. Or could share the page but gets its own spot as the parade of monsters walk by to help the young child of the book fall asleep. […]

After reviewing Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson series last year, I  have come back for more with CBR13. I can’t seem to get enough! Mercy is a coyote shifter who lives in Washington working as a mechanic. She was raised by werewolves and attempted to strike out on her own. She keeps to herself mostly until she ends up tangled in werewolf business. Her neighbor happens to be the local were pack Alpha, Adam. With the first four books in the series, Mercy gets into trouble […]

“Someone so otherworldly, so impossible, had chosen to shower her in affection.”

In the Bedroom of Medusa by Magen Cubed

by Leave a Comment

The world always needs more sapphic monster love, so of course I leapt on the chance to read this novella involving a gorgon! If you’re not a fan of snakes, this may not be the romance for you, but otherwise it’s a quite fun read! As an escort, Evelyn’s used to some odd requests from her clients, but Lady Demetria’s long list may be the strangest yet. Evelyn must wear a blindfold, and Lady Demetria will remain fully veiled and gloved at all times. But […]

It’s ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE…..!!!!!!!!!!! So, RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

Frankenslime by Joy Keller

by Leave a Comment

To understand my feelings on Frankenslime by Joy Keller you must understand a personality quirk: I can “taste” the words. Not physically of course, but I like to chew on them in my mind. And they started out dry. Very dry. Where was this obviously Frankenstein (and later you will see The Blob references) spoof going? When the dog named Igor is the best thing, you hope it picks up. When I realized that the ending was going to be an almost pee-your-pants funny, I […]

The biggest piece of genius ever written or one big pile of steaming crap

City Monster by Reza Farazmand

by Leave a Comment

If you like the comic, Poorly Drawn Lines, or stoner literature in general, this story by Reza Farazmand, called City Monster (which is about nothing and about a lot of s**t), is your next read. I am not sure what else I can say about this Monster, his sort of Ghost roommate, a vampire named Kim, and other odd creatures. Occasionally they go outside. Walk about. Talk crud. Maybe run into a mummy or ghost detective, but whatever. Okay, so Ghost might get stoned all […]
