    About this ebook

    Life on the commune seems idyllic until Morgan comes home to find a carnivorous monster in her yard, drooling acid and crying for its mother. With monster-catchers on the prowl, what is she going to do? This story is from the collection Misfits from the Beehive State.

    Kristin Ann King

    I’m a writer, parent, and activist who lives in Seattle. My work has appeared in such places as Strange Horizons, Calyx, The Pushcart Prize XXII (1998), and the anthology Missing Links and Secret Histories (2013). I enjoy reading, playing with my family, coffee, hiking, blogging, and more reading. Right now, I’m in the middle of a couple of writing projects: a collection of critical essays about Doctor Who and the show’s companions; a collection of zombie math stories; and a story set in the universe of “Mystery of the Missing Mothers,” which appeared in Missing Links and Secret Histories.
