My former beau may think himself a cake-eater because he’s the lead trombone player at Boston’s Beans Speakeasy, but that rotten scoundrel has no right to deny our baby. He promised to change my life—and know your onions, he did. What was I thinking when I lay with him? This baby was supposed to secure a happy home for us, and my brother, Allen, who depends on me after he was kicked in the head by a horse.

Luckily for me, Dr. Leopold Guett found me crying in the alley behind Beans. He offered me a position on his Kentucky estate with living arrangements to boot. The Big Cheese didn’t bat an eye at Allen’s slow speech or my being stuffed out of wedlock. I thought we’d be gutter rats when Aunt Edith discovered my pregnancy, but now we will be safer than ever…and I owe it all to Dr. Guett.

Thomas

Papa’s eyes glow with renewed interest in his experiments. I thought the fury of Phin and Harriett’s departure would burn the evil out of him, but he’s brought two more humans to our house of horrors. Can I swim idly as he destroys the beautiful ray of sunshine he’s ensnared? Papa will certainly force me into his experiments on this gentle lady with a voice like a songbird if I show a hint of interest…just like he did to Phin. However, my heart can’t stand aside and allow his madness to destroy her. I won’t rest until I carry her down the river to safety—far away from here—but will she accept the aid of a man who is half grouper? Or will she mistake me for the monster?

Clutching Her Fishman’s Roe is a horror romance and the sequel to Clutching Cthulhu'''s Pearls, with similar themes of oviposition, scientific experiment voyeurism, and true love conquers all. Reader discretion is advised.

Monsters have always existed. They walk amongst us or live in the shadows. Hungering. Craving. Looking for love. Are you ready to meet these swoon-worthy specters and creatures of the night? It's time for monsters...
