This month on the monster blog, I had the pleasure of interviewing fellow debut author Sasha Laurens, whose A WICKED MAGIC is set to release July 28, 2020. This fantasy YA has been described as The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina meets The Craft, and I personally could not put it down. Sasha Laurens and the … Continue reading Interview with Author Sasha Laurens
Interview with Cat Scully, author of JENNIFER STRANGE
Today on my water monster blog, we have a guest, Cat Scully, author of the much anticipated JENNIFER STRANGE. Wanna know what this talented author is really afraid of? Read on. But first, a little about the book itself, which Claire Legrand, author of Sawkill Girls, calls "devilishly paced and drenched in Gothic atmosphere."

Buffy and the Creature from the Blue Lagoon
When I got my book contract last year, I followed my good friend’s advice (awesome romance writer Jenna Sutton) and took the time to celebrate. She told me it’s easy to let the moment pass, as you care for the people in your life or check off the boxes on your to-do list (which always … Continue reading Buffy and the Creature from the Blue Lagoon
The Ocean’s New Big Bad: UNDERWATER’s Creeptastic Water Monster
If Aliens and Deep Star Six had a stylish baby, it would be this movie.

Water Monsters You’ve Never Heard of: The Lake Worth Monster
When I picked up my seven-year-old from her summer camp last week, she hung onto me like she hadn’t seen me in weeks.

Book Monsters: Ryan Lockwood’s BELOW
When I think about great sea monster books, JAWS tops my list. How could I forget that iconic cover, the tiny beautiful swimmer at the surface, and that enormous saw-toothed mouth coming up from the depths? The ultimate killer shark story might have become famous as a summer blockbuster, but it started as a dog-eared copy … Continue reading Book Monsters: Ryan Lockwood’s BELOW
Water Monsters You’ve Never Heard of: the Monster from THE HOST
Let me make it clear that this freakish people eater isn’t underrated everywhere. In fact, when The Host came out in 2006, it became the highest grossing South Korean film ever. But when I mention the movie in the west, most people give me a blank look. And that’s a shame, because this beast is freakin’ awesome. We all … Continue reading Water Monsters You’ve Never Heard of: the Monster from THE HOST
