Class is in session! Jess and Sarah head back to basics, and discuss the question that has been sitting in their minds since Dragon Con, which is, “Is Monster Romance its own genre?”  We dive into the establishment of monsters, and the inability to seperate it from world cultures. We talk about WHY monsters, how authors and medias use them as a tool, and we explore the queer and sexual spaces that monsters fill. Is it taboo? Or is it more maintstream than you think? Make your own judgement call, and join us as we discuss everything monster romance.
