ROUND TWO - June 23rd to July 7th
Prompt: Monsters
where the wild things are
This round, your challenge is to incorporate supernatural creatures somehow. Zombies, ghosts, werewolves, and of course vampires/rainbow drinkers are all welcome! Make sure the supernatural aspects of your entry are dealt with in a substantial way—ideally it shouldn't just be a throwaway line.

There's the Cthulhu, Old Ones, Mountains of Madness areas, which would be cool of course, but then there's my personal favorite Lovecraft story,
THE SHADOW OVER INNSMOUTH. It's available at Amazon and online HERE if anyone is inclined to read it, but it's just completely awesome. The main antagonistic force, and why it came to my mind, are ""the remnants of the last race of amphibious human beings", and described at one point as having, "...round, fixed, fishy eyes, and soft, slaty skin. But the horror of the thing were the two gills that swelled and relaxed spasmodically."
I just can't stop picturing hideous, smiling, adorable Feferi, all gills, scales, webs, and fins, with terrified, 1929 North-easterner Jade. Almost, perhaps, the making of a horror love story?
