Join Lena Little on a thrilling journey in Book 13 of her best-selling series, the Steamy Shorts. Aptly titled "The Monster," this installment delves into the depths of Slavic mythology, bringing to life the horrifying creatures known as the Bies. These demons, whose name translates to 'one who causes fear and terror,' possess individuals, driving them into madness and despair.
The story is narrated from the perspective of a young woman whose childhood was colored by tales of Bies. Her sisters would weave dark narratives about the cat she befriended and the stray dog she nurtured, claiming they were the very monsters that would transform in her bedroom, taking control of her body and ensnaring her spirit. As a result, she's lived in perpetual fear of the shadows lurking in her home, her nights filled with anxiety as she listens to the creaks of the floorboard and the whispers of the wind.
At twenty-one, she remains haunted by her childhood fears, sleeping with the lights on, constantly battling the terror the unknown brings. Yet, as she prepares to walk down the aisle, she must confront a formidable truth: she is about to marry a monster. This gripping narrative plays with the boundaries of fear and love, compelling readers to question the nature of the beast and what it means to be both terrified and enchanted.
Will she find the courage to reconcile her fears, or will the monster claim her before she can uncover the truth? Lena Little's 'The Monster' promises to be an enthralling read for anyone who dares to embrace the darker sides of love and myth.
