A Collection of Monstrous Short Stories

MM Monster Romance

By: Lily Mayne

Narrated by: Michael Lesley

Revisit the Monstrous couples from the first seven novels of the series in this collection of sixteen short stories. Plus, meet a new Monstrous couple in a brand new novella, Ruke.

Catch up with the original monster-human couple, Danny and Wyn, in their Wastes-style adventures. Witness Moth and Wyn's blossoming and potentially concerning friendship. Find out all the new ways Edin has been frustrating Hunter (lovingly) since their story ended. And join Lor and Jugs in welcoming a new furry addition to their monster-world family.

Want to find out more about Wyn's ex Orlith? In this collection, you can take a peek at some very old letters between the two telyths, hear Orlith's historic (pre-Danny) attempts to seduce our favorite grumpy Soul Eater, and meet his uptight and righteous older sibling.

Ruke, A Monstrous Novella

In the brand new novella Ruke, human Jamie finally finds the one being he can trust after a lifetime of loneliness…

I was born the night monsters rose on earth. I'm a true child of the new world. I've never met a single other soul except for my dad, who decided to keep us out here in the Wastes when he escaped with me from the hospital that catastrophic night.

But now Dad's gone, and I'm alone. Completely alone. I don't trust humans—not raiders, not the military, not all the people living in those big dirty coastal cities—so I find the most remote spot I can to settle down and live out the rest of my life on my own, just like my dad always taught me was safest.

I'm not on my own out here. Something is here with me—someone is leaving me strange gifts by my campfire every night. And suddenly, I realize that I don't want to be alone anymore. I don't want them to go.

When he finally shows himself to me, I realize that my mystery companion out here isn't human. And that suits me just fine.

This is a collection of short stories set within the Monstrous universe, a post-apocalyptic m/m fantasy series that features monsters and human men falling in love. It is best to listen to the series in order. For mature listeners.

2025 Oh yeah

Was happy to start. Now I ponder the next installment. I hope theirs a hybrid in the oven

Left in bad takes

I love this series and the narrator is one of my favorites but who ever is in charge of the final take left in mistakes. At one point he reads Wyn’s line in Danny’s voice and a deep sigh after a flubbed sentence. It doesn’t happen often but it takes you out of the story.

Waiting for more

I can’t wait for the next book in the series!
This is my one and only dystopian series that I have been enthralled with.

Disappointed

I own the book and yet I wanted the hear the audio but honestly I’m just disappointed and idk why I do this to myself after the mistake that was Seraph. Once again, whenever is in charge of audio production, left in tons of mistakes and it just yanks me out of the story.
Michael is laughing through part of Wyns lines, he coughs, uses the wrong voices, murmurs the words, and uses the wrong words - island instead of inside.
Whomp whomp.

mischievous monsters

It was a lot of fun getting to listen to the little moments that happened between the books, or the mischief other characters were getting up to while the main characters were having their big adventure! I loved the new story with Ruke and Jamie especially!

Missed Them!

Wonderful. All my favorite couples and soooo cute! Edin and Hunter are, Danny and Wyn 🥹 Highly recommend.

amazing story tellin! Lilly is by far my favorite author, and she is so kind to give us these short steamy stories.

I loved every story! there was a few times where Micheal messed up a line and it wasn't edited properly out. The only reason it's obvious is because the story telling is so captivating. so it's a bit of a compliment of a complaint haha

Queen Lily Mayne

I was so excited when this audiobook dropped unexpectedly. It was so good, like visiting old friends. I can’t wait for the next book of Cat and lyri to drop.

LOVED!!!

Loved revisiting everyone and seeing what they were up to while we were busy with the others' stories.

I especially enjoyed the last story.

I need so much more of this world.

Please take us back soon. Xoxo.

Narration was beautiful and always brings the characters to life. Especially the beloved monsters.

Love this series

I was so looking forward to hearing these on audio and it did not disappoint.
