Love and Other Monsters in the Dark is a collection of random stories by K.B. Jensen. These stories will pique your curiosity, leave you creeped out, and looking at the world in a different light. Most of them will send shivers down your spine. You will meet zombies and experimental government soldiers with wings. If these creatures do not spark your interest, there are tales of mythical beings. Jensen also includes stories about current events like the pandemic and war. And if you love to read about realistic situations like daily living, grief, love, domestic violence, birthdays, heartbreak, or marriage, Jensen has you covered; she will take you on a crazy journey, and all you must do is read and enjoy the ride.

Reading K.B. Jensen's Love and Other Monsters in the Dark will make you emotional. But what emotion you will feel depends on your interpretation. All the stories have a poetic feel and spooky conclusion. Jensen uses different genres, showcasing her writing range and creativity. What kind of story do you want to read? Horror, sci-fi, romance, murder, relationships, comedy, or mystery, this one has it all. I loved how she perfectly describes the characters and the scenery. She puts you in the main characters' shoes and makes you feel their fear or disturbing thoughts. Then she adds a plot twist that changes how you see the protagonist. Visually appealing to read from the cover to the stylish fonts, everything is inviting and beautifully written.
