Tales of Monster Love

Created by John Betancourt

What do Dune, Star Trek, Star Wars and The Thing have in common? Iconic writers who have written for them are all appearing together in a new anthology, Hearts of the Abyss: Tales of Monster Love. We put together the most talented, critically acclaimed and award-winning authors, and told them "Write a story with a monster and a romance, and the rest is up to you." This is what they came up with.

Hello everyone!
 The last of the books are being sent out and should arrive soon. 
Both editions turned out wonderfully, as you can see here.
 
Remember to use the hashtag #wildsidepress if you post about it.
 
 
 
And be sure to check out our next project, Tempting The Gods: The Selected Stories of Tanith Lee, which will be launching very soon .

 

 
Thank you all for your support! This project wouldn't have been possible without you. Anthologies are a lot of work between coordinating all of the authors, creating the illustrations, editing, printing, and shipping, but your enthusiasm for the art we create makes it all worthwhile!
 
 
Thank you so much. 
 
We hope you pick up more of our books soon.
