There's a Monster in the Woods by Fae Quin

Great Story!

This was such a great story!

Ellis has felt like an outcast by his town for living a simple life (among other things) and is uncomfortable around others’ company.

He befriends the ‘monster’ in the woods that everyone believes is a myth but they devote a ‘sacrifice’ to every year. Big deal for a myth, but traditions die hard.

Ellis and Styx are so adorable together. Ellis feels more seen by Styx than anyone else he’s ever encountered and Styx (by context and Ellis’ narration) has been lonely and looking for companionship. They are perfect for each other.

I would have loved to see what happened after Ellis won as sacrifice, but it’s fade to black. My imagination is not that good!
