This is after, of course, she gifts me an amulet that I really should have investigated more before continuing on with my night.A few too many hard ciders later and I'm dancing too close to a giant pumpkin display, but when I fall into it, I don't hit the bottom; I wake up in a different world where monsters are making thirst traps that feel very targeted to me and my neighbor looks like a walking, talking pumpkin that I...okay,I kind of do want to sleep with him.Can I even be blamed when I accidentally bond not only them, but a phantom and a goblin as well?

We have a very special episode for everyone this week, because LAST weekend, Katie and Maxx hung out in Portland, Oregon and did a live episode at Romancing Portland 2026! They were joined by authors Emily Rath (Pucking Around), S.A. MacLean (Beasts of the Void duology), and honorary Smutco Industries Intern, Lauren Devora (who is not only an author, but a co-host of the In Our Ears podcast, a show about the world of audio erotica).No book descriptions or Triple T's for this one, because Katie presented a Funbag of three short stories, but with a twist: one of the books is made up by Katie, and our guests have to guess which one that is. As such, we also aren't posting the book information in the show notes, so YOU can play along as well! Katie mentions the titles at the end, so you'll be able to track them down! We are going on tour in 2027! Help us make it amazing and fill out our survey! Only takes a few minutes, and it is anonymous!Our LinktreeMusic: "Storytime" by Maxx Joy ★ Support this podcast ★

When we covered Eden Crowe's Bowling With Bigfoot way back on episode 87, Maxx told a story of his youthful, small-town hijinks. Edwn was so tickled that she wrote an ENTIRE BOOK about the hilarious tale!Okay...she briefly mentions it in Mingling With Mothman, her latest adorable slice-of-small-town-life tale in her Monsters of Mistwood series. It is still very cool, and the book is another Eden Crowe banger!Meet Katie at Crown & Quill August 29th in Jamestown, North Carolina!Meet Katie and Maxx at Romancing Portland September 11th-13th in Portland, Oregon!Book DescriptionThere are a million reasons why Mayor Clay Carlile should never fall for his gorgeous and curvy new social media intern, but the biggest reason of all might just be her father. In nearly twenty years of political tenure, he’s been Clay’s only opponent, and his distaste for all of the monsters who call Mistwood, WV, home is more than well known. Not to mention, a scathing letter he sent to the tabloids trying to out Clay as the state’s most notorious cryptid has an uncomfortable amount of eyes focusing on this mothy mayoral candidate just in time for election season. But how is Clay supposed to resist a woman who shines so bright?Ava Pratt is nothing like the man who raised her, and she’s lived her life abroad proving just that. Despite it all, she can’t help but believe there’s still some good left in her father and is determined to help him see reason. She hasn’t been back to Mistwood in two decades, but when a job posting from her hometown slides into her inbox, it seems like the perfect political strategy to take the temporary office position playing intern to her father’s biggest enemy, if only to help them both understand one another better. But the last thing Ava expects is to find herself falling for her new boss.A work trip goes awry when a sudden snow storm leaves the pair stranded at a no-tell motel. This single-bed-situation seems prime for media scandal, but when Clay reveals more than just his true form, the two must face the forbidden nature of their budding romance and decide whether it’s best to stay hidden, waiting in the wings, or find a way to face the public - and Ava’s father. Can the pair sort through all the legends and lore to learn that seeing is believing? And will their love find a way to show others the light?Triple T'sTRIGGERS: Family estrangement, bigotry and racism, family member diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, verbal abuse and hate speech, implied sexual-assault of a friend (mention,) feelings of loneliness and otherness, fictional death related to a real event.TROPES: F/M Cis/Het romance featuring a human woman and The Mothman. Age gap (she’s in her 30s, he’s at least 100 he thinks). Small town romance, supernatural small town, forbidden romance, trapped by the elements, only one bed, monstrous monster.TITILLATIONS: “graphic, consensual (and highly detailed) fornicatin’ between Mothman and his lady - some rather interesting use of moth parts, such as a proboscis and claspers.” Unique anatomy, literal panty eating, monstrous sex.So...What Are You Into?Katie: "Downfall" by Noah KahanMaxx: Alexis Dahl on YouTubeAuthor's WebsiteOur LinktreeMusic: "Storytime" by Maxx Joy ★ Support this podcast ★
