There Be Monsters

The Horror Anthology Series

There Be Monsters

Across oceans, graveyards, mines, cities, and centuries, monsters reveal what people become when the dark stops hiding them.

Begin here. Then keep going.

Each volume is a thematic anthology and each story stands on its own. Reading in order reveals how the series keeps returning to one question: what makes a monster?

Cover of There Be Monsters: Then and Now

Book One

Then and Now

A horror anthology where the most terrifying monsters are the ones closest to human. Eight stories move between centuries and locations—from Victorian England to modern America—where creatures lurk at the edges of what can be explained.

Book Two

Deep Down

Thirteen tales of what waits below the light—in water, in rock, and in the parts of the world built to keep people out. Campfire horror aged up, sharpened, and unwilling to let anyone off the hook.

Book Three

Among the Dead

Thirteen illustrated stories where old burial customs become instructions for survival, and the dead do not always agree to stay where they are put. Folklore, consequence, and slow-building dread.

The Series Promise

The monster is never the whole story.

There Be Monsters is built for readers who want atmosphere, mythology, and consequences—not disposable creatures. The horror may begin with claws, graves, deep water, or an old warning, but it ends with the human choice that made the door possible.

  • Thematic volumes with stories that stand alone
  • Creature mythology, folklore, and supernatural horror
  • Slow-building dread with adult stakes
  • A clear reading order without a cliffhanger requirement
