Gods and Monsters by E. E. King digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

"Combines the dark mythology of fantasy with the dangerous social commentary of Hunter S. Thompson into a masterpiece of the genre." Metastellar Magazine

In the fog-shrouded streets of San Francisco the fates draw together River, a gifted baker whose treats can heal broken hearts, and Pamela, a mysterious waitress with an impossible secret. Their future is threatened by Gabriel, an ethereally deadly stranger whose crystal jewelry lures the city's immortals to their doom.


When a series of mysterious deaths rocks the Castro district, the city is gripped by fear. Bodies are found drained of blood, bearing strange marks that defy explanation.


River's quest to understand these murders leads him to discover an underground network of immortal beings, ancient Gods, and Lenni Lenape ghosts, lurking just beneath the city's surface.


After Pamela vanishes, following a fateful encounter with Gabriel, River must navigate this dangerous new reality where nothing is as it seems. His journey will take him from the redwood-shadowed hills of Marin to the neon-lit streets of the Tenderloin, from underground morgues to forgotten tunnels beneath the city. With only his faithful crow Huck and the ghost of his uncle Ryo to guide him, River must confront shocking truths about love, mortality, and the thin line between predator and prey.


Weaving together Greek mythology, San Francisco history, and supernatural romance, "Gods and Monsters" is a haunting tale of eternal love, devastating choices, and the price of immortality.


This sweeping urban fantasy explores what it means to be human in a world where humanity itself may be optional. It's a tale of impossible choices, undying love, and the eternal question of whether we control our destiny.

Gods and Monsters Reviews

2.0
“Set in San Francisco in the 1980s, the story follows River and his pet crow, Huck where he meets a number of mysterious figures including a waitress named Pamela, who he falls in love with. Pamela is a night owl who survives on a diet of pomegranate juice alone and despite River's attempts to woo her with his incredibly delicious baking, she does not eat. A number of strange murders are taking place across the city, and in his attempts to understand the murders, River comes to understand there are non-human creatures living in the city's underground who do what they have to, to carve out their own existence. The story brings together local history, mythology and romance. A haunting and imaginative story about Gods and mythical creatures, set over several timelines, which was, unfortunately, difficult to follow at times. While I was drawn to the intriguing story, it kept losing me as the mythological references were convoluting and the story rambling. So much so that I couldn't wait to finish it, while secretly hoping it was going to come together. A great concept for a story with beautiful, vivid imagery and an ethereal feel however it failed to deliver despite its promise. ⭐⭐.5”
