What a scarific cliffhanger at the end! I bloody need to to read volume 2.

It’s been a while since I’ve consumed any MH media, but, bull, have I missed the ghouls!

The two monsterpride short stories were absolutely fangtastic! Two ghoul-couples and one boo-couple, creepy cute and scaremazing! 5/5 screams <3
Some uhh-nderful messages as well. For hexample: “Who cares what your relationship is supposed to lurk like? We’re monsters, after all, we already defy expectations.”

Too frad that they weren’t in the main story, but it was still a clawsome read overall.

I especially lava all the scareverse monsters in the background, and Ghoulia’s zombie language which consists of moans and groans. And, of corpse, the bootiful monster puns.

5/5 screams for the art as well.
