It’s a horror story, but it’s told entirely from the viewpoint of the monster, delving into his psyche and his motivations and experiences. The Monster of Elendhaven is a very unique little novella. Warnings: Graphic depictions of violence, Power dynamics, implied incest, implied rape These monsters of Elendhaven will have their revenge on everyone who wronged the city, even if they have to burn the world to do it. His frail master sends him out on errands, twisting him with magic, crafting a plan too cruel to name, while the monster’s heart grows fonder and colder and more cunning. A thing without a name stalks the city, a thing shaped like a man, with a dark heart and long pale fingers yearning to wrap around throats. Wracked by plague, abandoned by the South, stripped of industry and left to die. The city of Elendhaven sulks on the edge of the ocean.
