Horror

Someone You Can Build a Nest In

by John Wiswell

A shapeshifting monster accidentally falls in love with a human woman and must navigate romance while being hunted by monster-slayers. Wiswell flips the monster-hunting narrative on its head with charm, body horror, and genuine tenderness as Shesheshen learns what it means to build something rather than destroy. Creepy, funny, and unexpectedly heartwarming—a love story from the monster's perspective.
