Trope Talk: Monster Romance
Advertisement
Some romances are sweet. Some are steamy. And some are… monstrously good.
Join us at book/shop, etc. for a deep dive into the world of monster romance. A trope where love stories cross into the realm of the strange, the otherworldly, and the not-quite-human. Forget your usual vampires and werewolves; this is about romances with creatures who defy categories altogether. Think sirens, demons, tentacled lovers, creatures from the deep, and all the unexpected forms desire can take. It’s bold, bizarre, and a little bit addictive.
We’ll explore what makes this trope so irresistible, share recommendations to get you started (or keep you hooked), and open the floor for discussion. Bring your favorite reads, your burning questions, and your curiosity.
