Monster Story Promotion for Halloween!

ProjectHybrid 2023-08-27 14:03:54 UTC #1

Yes, come one, come all! As we all know, Halloween is sometime away still, but fast approaching! Which gives us plenty of time to bring out the best/underground monster stories Tapas has to offer! So, feel free to promote any monster based story (action, horror, fantasy, sci-fi, romance, comedy, etc) be it yours or someone else's (because it really makes their day!) Monsters could be as the definition states, but incase anyone's curious: monsters, demons, aliens, ghosts, zombies, werewolves, vampires, ghouls, skeletons, robots, etc, etc, etc (You get the idea!) So, have fun, promote, and if you like any of these series, please like the chapters, support the story by subscribing and make the creators' days by leaving a comment or ten. Thank you all, and readers beware, you may be in for a scare

Here's mine, full of angels and demons and hybrids!

They say that the most terrifying monsters in life are the ones who walk among us.
This novel contains an antagonist whose heart is as cold as ice. And because of how his past shaped him, turned him into the monster that he is. Will someone out there be able to tame him before he spirals lower down the path of insanity?

It also contains a list of archetype wilderbeasts or the layman's "monsters": winterwolves, noct scorpianas, drenadas (faerie-like dragons) and more.

[Fantasy, Romance, Action, Language, Male Protagonist] and Halloween for [Violence, Blood, Gore]

I legit thought this was inline with the ongoing monster-lover story campaign in Tapas Discord XD

Thanks for this opportunity! My fantasy comic Karamador includes a lot of fighting against all kinds of monsters like zombies, ghosts, skeletons, insectoids, orcs, and ancient sea monsters like Iku-Turso straight from Finnish mythology, all happening in a medieval- and reneissance fantasy world with anthro characters!

Come and join Sir Kiljaos the lion paladin's epic adventures on his ongoing quest to fight the forces of chaos! May the holy winds guide your paths!

My comic has monsters and many scenes of fright a perfect scare for the Halloween season.

Scary Terry is an outcast amongst the demons of Hell because he doesn’t take enough souls. This all changes when he finds the book of Dark Contents. Each story in this book offers a different soul…and yours…could be NEXT! Published twice a month.

Funnily enough both my series contain monsters!

ProjectHybrid 2023-08-27 14:51:23 UTC #7

Great story, dishyie! Sometimes monsters can walk among us (getting chills just thinking about it!)

And this thread was created because of the small window that the monster lovers collection was giving. All things monster are welcome here!

Thanks for sharing

ProjectHybrid 2023-08-27 14:52:58 UTC #8

Ooh, eerie! Thank you for promoting @fsarbolaez! It fits right in! Not many people think about eco-horror, so will definitely have to check it out!

JeremyMountbatten 2023-08-27 14:54:52 UTC #9

New chapter for Hellwave story novel is up on Tapas now, everyone. Don't forget to like and sub the story. Thank you.

ProjectHybrid 2023-08-27 14:55:02 UTC #10

Ooh, kind of like Evil Dead and Army of Darkness but way darker! Definitely fits for the Halloween season! Thanks for sharing, @scaryterry!

JeremyMountbatten 2023-08-27 14:57:41 UTC #11

@ProjectHybrid Do check this out! Thanks!

ProjectHybrid 2023-08-27 15:00:57 UTC #12

Don't let their appearances fool you , folks! The monsters here are pretty scary! Thank you for promoting, Heady! Definitely a good recommendation!

I love Halloween!
I Wish I Was Not A Necromancer is full of vampires, some demons and also other scary creatures from Norwegian folktales Necromancy can be quite terrifying as well…

Echoes of the Void has a vampire skull, demons, scary crypts and of course vampires! All in a quest to find the body of the vampire skull.

Thanks for making such a cool topic for my fav time of the year!

A group of individuals with knowledge in specific fields is hired by a single man to go on an expedition to an unknown part of the world.
What lies beyond the northern horizon, in the forbidden sea?

Love to see halloween posting already! it's never too early for that!
ive got a comic that, while it is a comedy, leans into horror occasionally because let's be honest, vampires can be pretty spooky!!
mine is about a down-on-their-luck college student just trying to make it by, until they discover and (accidentally) release a vampire locked away beneath an old mansion. now, they seem to be a magnet for all kinds of cryptids and generally weird things. i hope it's up your alley!

I've got a fantasy comic that's got monsters in it. If your definition of monster is broad enough then everyone is a monster because there are no humans, but even under a narrower definition I think there's still a few good monsters, especially in chapters 3 and 5. Some weird scary monsters show up in those chapters.

Imagine having a flu and anyone you infect will instantly mutate into feral man-eating monsters! There's nothing you can do but watch helplessly as loved ones transform before your eyes! All they have to do is stand 20ft within your proximity
However in this comic the 'asymptomatic carriers' of this flu also develop bizarre powers inspired by states of matter, a fighting chance against the hordes of infected. Be warned there are those who seek to spin the situation into a grisly game!

(many carriers take inspiration from classic monsters Owen's Gas makes him phantom-like, Evan's Solid powers via saliva manipulation makes him look like an undead rogue/swordsman, the FPS guy brings psychological horror, Raffa can shift into a big black wolf, the puke monster brings a dose of horror-kaiju and cosmic-horror, the infected look like a combination of zombies and the organism from The Thing- the infected is rapidly fluctuating between states of matter and has traits closer to a poltergeist than a fleshy zombie.)

Spoiler-ish monster features

Vampirism and cannibalism between 'carriers' allows you to take a portion of the victim carrier's power as an additional secondary power, a creepy sound activated the symptoms within the carriers and hints to ancients perceived to be demons/gods
