Teratozoology 101

by Gregory Ashe

When lonely adjunct professor Nick moves from New York to a small, Midwestern town, he's trying to bad relationships, bad dreams, and the city's monsters. He finds, though, that small towns have their own monsters. Real monsters. And when Nick's handsome young student Will is stalked by one of these monsters, Nick must draw on skills he learned as a child--skills he had hoped he would never have to use again--to save Will. As the monster comes closer and closer, Nick's chances of saving his student dwindle. Will Nick be able to save his student in time--and, perhaps, save himself as well?

About the author

I'm a long-time Midwesterner. I've lived in Chicago, Bloomington (IN), and Saint Louis, my current home. Aside from reading and writing (which take up a lot of my time), I'm an educator.

While I enjoy reading across many genres, my two main loves are mystery and speculative fiction. I used to keep a list of favorite books, but it changes so frequently that I've given up. I'm always looking for recommendations, though, so please drop me a line if you have something in mind!

My big goal right now is one day to be responsible enough to get a dog.

I was left yearning for a series or a full length book but was nonetheless satisfied.

Ok, that was just stinkin' cute.

Monster-hunting professor for the win.

Quick read. Super cute. Mental health representation, which is a common theme in this author's books. And full of ridiculously gorgeous imagery courtesy of Gregory Ashe.

Recommend.

Awesome!

Ugh this was a short, fun read. Like a little jolt of adrenaline. The only thing that would make this better is if GA turned it full length and into a series.

As usual a good story by Gregory, The story should of been a full size novel there was a lot of scope to develop the book, and I would of liked more background on the professor. I hope these characters and up with further stories.

3.5 stars. I'm not much for monster-hunting or student/teacher relationships, but I did enjoy this. This is my first time reading Gregory Ashe, and while this was really too short to judge, I did like the writing and will be checking out more of his works in the future.

Good Short Story

I enjoyed this book, even though it was a short story I was able to get a good read on the characters. The world building was excellent and I was disappointed when the story was over. Highly recommend.

I really liked this! If you like morally questionable student/teacher romance and monster hunting, you'll probably like this book! I wish this was a series of novels rather than only a novella. It's worth your time and money!
