thank you so much for sticking with me this month. My surgery recovery has been slower than expected and with other work it has just been a lot. July is near thank goodness.
Let's go, monster lovers.
A wild ride through the world of monster romance! From folk tales to the latest best-sellers and films, we're diving deep into the irresistible allure of otherworldly lovers. Join us on this quirky journey as we unravel the evolution of monster romance, expose its links to societal norms and fears, and highlight its role in challenging traditional notions of desire and identity.

This was fantastic, and just when I'd been talking about monster romance with some friends. I sent them the video as soon as it went public.

Look, you don't have to apologize for the video not being horny. Number 1: it's your video. Do what you want with it. Number 2: I could sit and listen to academic deconstruction of romantic tropes for hours.

this was so great. as a purveyor of romance and dabbler in monster romance including those Katee Robert books, the Ashley Bennett books (Tentacles and Triathalons) and IPB I think you analyzed all of this with criticality, care and giving the historical context.
