But what looks like a case of police brutality soon reveals something much stranger. Monsters are real. And they want everyone to know it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As creatures from myth and legend come out of the shadows, seeking safety through visibility, their emergence sets off a chain of seemingly unrelated events. Members of a local werewolf pack are threatened into silence. A professor follows a missing friend\u2019s trail of bread crumbs to a mysterious secret society. And a young boy with unique abilities seeks refuge in a pro-monster organization with secrets of its own. Meanwhile, more people start disappearing, suicides and hate crimes increase, and protests erupt globally, both for and against the monsters.<\/p>\n<p>At the center is a mystery no one thinks to ask: Why now? What has frightened the monsters out of the dark?<\/p>\n<p>The world will soon find out.<\/p>\n<h4>Representation Includes<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensemble cast including:\n<ul>\n<li>Black bisexual protagonist<\/li>\n<li>Puerto Rican-American sapphic protagonist<\/li>\n<li>Biracial, bi-ace, trans protagonist<\/li>\n<li>Non-binary side character<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Polyamorous relationship<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><div class=\"spoiler-wrap\"><div class=\"spoiler-head no-icon  collapsed\" title=\"Expand\">Content Warnings<\/div><div class=\"spoiler-body\" style=\"display: none;\"> Police brutality and shooting of a black man; <span id=\"reviewTextContainer3797821294\" class=\"readable\"><span id=\"freeText9433670580175147191\">implied sexual abuse of a minor; domestic abuse; drug abuse and overdose; loss of loved ones; suicide; mass shooting; gore <\/span><\/span> <\/div><noscript><div class=\"spoiler-body\"> Police brutality and shooting of a black man; <span id=\"reviewTextContainer3797821294\" class=\"readable\"><span id=\"freeText9433670580175147191\">implied sexual abuse of a minor; domestic abuse; drug abuse and overdose; loss of loved ones; suicide; mass shooting; gore <\/span><\/span> <\/div><\/noscript><\/div><\/div>\n<h4>Reviews<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fictionunbound.com\/blog\/no-gods-no-monsters\">Theodore McCombs&#8217;s review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightspeedmagazine.com\/nonfiction\/book-review-no-gods-no-monsters-by-cadwell-turnbull\/\">Arley Sorg&#8217;s review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/4199217948\">Laura&#8217;s review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/4120945454\">Jessica Woodbury&#8217;s review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/3880886859\">K.J.
