Bubba the Monster Hunter Novellas

Monsters Mashed: Bubba the Monster Hunter, Vol. 2

Rate this book
Bubba's back, and more hilarious than ever! Monsters Mashed collects four more adventures of everybody's favorite blend of horror and humor! Join Bubba, Skeeter, his Desert Eagle Bertha and a host of hilarious characters as the Southeastern Regional Monster Hunter for the Holy Roman Catholic Church takes on rakshasa, chupacabra and other monsters he can't spell!

Cat Scratch Fever
Bubba the Monster Hunter returns in a love story for the ages! Okay, not really. But there are big guns, bar fights, cheap women, cheaper beer, even cheaper one-liners, and a six-foot tiger taking a leak on a headstone. No really, that last part happened.

Love Stinks
There's a cupid on the loose in a nursing home, and he's wreaking havoc with broken hips, high blood pressure and horny octogenarians! Can Bubba and his pistol-packing nun sidekick save the day before the cupid plants a magic arrow in our favorite Monster Hunter?

Hall & Goats
Bubba's chasing a creature he can't even pronounce! A mysterious creature called a chupacabra is attacking livestock in Florida, and Bubba's on the case! But there's someone else investigating this chimichanga, too! Who is it? Is she hot? Will Bubba get her naked before the story is over? And what the hell is Bubba doing hunting chalupas in a dry county?

Footloose
Bubba hunts a bigfoot in Virginia mountain country and finds so much more, including a hottie federal agent and a blast from his past that will change Bubba's life forever. And probably not for the better!

This book here is where Bubba goes from being bunch of disconnected entertaining shorts to a full-on series. The characters of Agent Hall and Bigfood Sclaren are introduced, expanding the world. The final story, Footloose, ends with a foreshadow/cliffhanger instead of an abrupt "monster's dead, my job is done here". We get hints of Bubba's backstory and emotions.

Come and get some.

The stories are totally worth it.

Shorts appearing in this book: (1) Cat Scratch Fever; (2) Love Stinks; (3) Hall & Goats; (4) Footloose. ... I've reviewed each of these stories individually elsewhere. Five star for two, four star for two.

(Read as part of the Bump in the Night book. - Now available in the Bubba year 1 collection: Scattered, Smothered, & Chunked - cheaper than buying the books individually)

Sent book but short stories aren't really my favorite. Also a bit too shallow for me.
