For the book recommendation with monster theme, I would recommend The Shape of Water! It’s about a mute woman meets an amphibious man and falls in love as they find themselves similar in ways only they can connect. The movie is actually the original but the book is the same but expended on. I enjoyed both but that’s my opinion :)

Hi, thank you so much for your recommendation!
Although The Shape of Water was probably the most anticipated film for teratophiliacs since forever many may not not know that there’s also a book. I think it’s more or less a novelization of the movie but as it’s written by Guillermo del Toro himself it clearly stands out among other novelizations.
It’s been on my to read list for some time but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. When I do I’ll report back. ☺️

Here’s a link for more information about the book:
