Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta ★★★★★

I found this monster porn gem in Karen’s to-read list, she finds the best titles in smut. 

It did not disappoint 😉.  Best of monster porn, five stars.

The Sword & Sorcery Anthology

Undertow by Karl Edward Wagner ★★★★½   
Oh friends, a full short story: beginning, middle, and oh-shit ending.  We start with stereotypes and bloom into layered, desperate, characters.  This is my favorite “green ribbon” story.

The Caravan of Forgotten Dreams by Michael Moorcock ★★★★½ 
Decades before the Targaryens hit the shelves there was “a race which loved pleasure, cruelty, and sophistication for its own sake. The race of Melnibonéans.”

Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror by Steve Alten ★★★☆☆

Book: ★★★☆☆
Movie: ★★★★☆ 
This doesn’t mean I did not enjoy the book - I did! - it means I appreciated the changes made in the movie version.

Subterrestrial by Michael McBride ★★★★☆

If you have ever found yourself watching late night "documentaries" on the History Channel, or SyFy, then you know the tasty pool of weird from which Michael McBride writes.
