THE BESTIARY BRIEFING — Cryptids

Happy Friday, esteemed members of the Bestiary Society (and beloved eavesdroppers)!

Here is your epub, PDF, and podcast companion that wraps up all the paid content this month..

What’s Ahead

As a regular reminder and heads-up for anyone who is new here’s what the Bestiary Society has planned for the rest of 2026. I am seriously looking at expanding our monthly topics to outside just monster romance so…you should totally give me your ideas. I am going to dropping some HUGE report news soon to give you an idea what that looks like. But you should still tell me if I need to be checking on the state of like…gaslamp romance, contemporary sapphic romance (gosh, that might be huge so get more specific?), and so much more is on the table.

The 2026 plan.

• August: Aliens

• September: Dragons

• October: Zombies

• November: Werewolves (the redux, because 2025 didn’t cover nearly enough ground)

• December: Ghosts

That’s at least five planned months of original research, market intelligence, and monster lore ahead.

See you online, y’all.
