Movies as paper titles:
Splinter, M. et al. (1990). "Traditional ninjitsu training increases overall survivability (OS) in an adolescent cohort of wood turtles, Glyptemys insculpta, exposed to ionizing radiation in the New York sewer system." Rept Gen. 90(6):407-409.
Take one (1) disaster bisexual florist who sees the future (badly).
Add one (1) autistic demisexual earl who is Completely Fine (allegedly).
Put in a blender with a desperate Celtic god and whirr that shit until EVERYONE BLEEDS.

Dreams of Chaos, by @shaunalawless.bsky.social (pub by @headofzeus.bsky.social) is another excellent prequel novella in the Gael Song saga; an exploration of Murchad's past and how it shaped his worldview.

Around it are the phrases family secrets, the slowest slowburn in existence, divination & sacrifice, betrayal & revenge, dead things that don't stay dead, totally normal relationships yessir, decaying gothic mansions, magic & darkness, sibling rivalry, and terrible bargains.
So yeah it's Monsters day!

The Shape of Monsters is delicious and dangerous, steeped in magic and monsters. There are ancient magical families, lost gods, and intoxicating romance. If youβre looking for a great new listen, this is it! ππππ
