Monstrous Sea

Rate this book
WELCOME TO THE PLANET ORCUS. Here, monsters fill the seas, humans travel the skies, and an ancient energy seeps from fissures in the earth. Because of this energy, some of the planet's inhabitants have evolved particular abilities: some instinctually read the stars; some live extraordinarily long lives; some control the very elements of the planet itself.

But there are stranger beings that lurk on Orcus. They were born in the chaotic formation of the planet, and they will live until the planet's death. They allow their hosts to move and sense as no one else can, and give them the ability to regenerate their bodies indefinitely. All they ask in return is to feed-to feed to their heart's content, to feed on the purest power source the planet has to offer.

To feed on human souls.

I loved Eliza and I love these characters too. Each one of them are so beautiful and unique, Dallas is definitely a favourite. The story is a very original idea and I can’t wait to see what it becomes

I was just looking around and suddenly found this. I really couldn't believe my eyes! I hope the author will publish the full story - in a physical book - one day

Hopefully one day this will become a full novel or even better a graphic novel!

A teaser of what could be. If you liked 'Eliza's Monsters,' you'll probably like this collection of short excerpts (complete chapters of the passages in the book).

Do. Not. Expect. A. Book.

This is NOT a book. It is, however, fantastic. The author said she was considering writing more depending on reviews, so there is a possibility it will grow into a full novel or perhaps a comic book. I hope it's a combination.

Incredible 'teaser' for a novel/graphic novel (I would take either or both, just not neither please) introduced in Francesca Zappia's 'Eliza & Her Monsters'! Hopefully one day our dreams will become reality.

Really great collection of teasers, including Wallace's chapters from Eliza and Her Monsters! And it's mentioned that she has a manuscript, depending on interest. Let's show some interest, because I'm needing the full story!

I read "Eliza" at the end of last year/the beginning of this year and when I found this I instantly had to put it on my TBR. it took a good few months to actually get to it but i'm so happy that i took this sunday afternoon to finally read it.
It is beautiful. The characters are amazing. The story is (so far) great. I'm a fan.
Now I really need a physical copy and full length story. Someone give her a book deal for it!!!!

I really enjoyed this! I found it hard to pay attention while reading it, but I suspect that its because
#1 it's in 3rd person (I really struggle with that lol)
#2 It's an ebook
I honestly really want to see a full version

So this is the story Eliza wrote in Eliza and her Monsters.

It was too short and ambiguous, but interesting enough to wish for a graphic novel.
