Monsters Sarah J Dhue

In this world so much like our own, monsters are not merely legends told around the campfire: vampires lurk in the night, werewolves run under the full moon, shapeshifters hide behind borrowed veneers, and magicians weave fantastic spells - for a price. They are living breathing citizens among the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In this world, sometimes the lines of what a true monster is get blurred; sometimes the true monsters are just everyday folk. A man plagued by his hatred manifesting as a murderous alter ego. A werewolf who just wants to live a life free from the fear that he may hurt someone. A vampire who has lived to see over half a millennium and lost his purpose. A reanimated corpse - an anomaly even in this diverse world - and the insane genius who created him. These are their stories: the monsters, everyday people, and most of all, the true monsters hiding behind human faces.
