Monsterotica: Tales of Unusual Courtship and Coupling

by Nina Waters (Lead Editor), Jaye Anderson, Katia Anyway

Do you love queer tales? Adore monsters? Delight in reading erotic monsterloving stories? Then Duck Prints Press has made an anthology for you—Monsterotica: Tales of Unusual Courtship and Coupling. We asked our contributors to lean in on the monstrous aspects of the monsters they chose for their stories, and then compose titillating tales of these entities wooing and bedding the partner(s) (human or otherwise) of their choice! From aliens to undersea hybrids, from winged beings to myths come to life, every creature in the Monsterotica stories is unusual, inhuman, sentient, and very much DTF.
