Fraternizing With Monsters
by M.F. Moody, Shannon French, Indie Sparks, F.D. Fair, B.D. Brown, Angelina Kerner
First I have to say I commend the unique approach to “anthology” with this interesting read. You have an overarching main character that is featured in a number of chapters written by one author and then a handful of other authors that take over with the POV coming from one of her sorority sisters telling their monster encounter tales. I wasn’t sure it would work but it really does. For the most part the story meshes really well and I’m going to guess it was equal parts talented writers and painstaking editing. (Although, it was clear some authors took it more seriously than others.)
The monster encounters were unique and interesting; two of them I questioned the consent level (was it just girls from monster-bigoted families explaining their attraction away with “siren calls” or was it really influenced), one more than the other — chapter 11 really felt like calling it dubcon would be too generous, there was zero consent involved (arousal does not equal consent) and there were mind control aspects, a baseball team gang-bang, and even a stepbrother thrown in for extra taboo. It really needed a content warning at the very least. Otherwise the rest of the stories were hot, steamy, and on occasion straight up spicy.
I really enjoyed the Wirry-Cow story, that was the first time I’ve ever encountered that particular monster and I loved how it ended on a bittersweet-sweet note.
My favorite was definitely M. F. Moody’s DnD debauchery
