Charlotte Stein is the RT and DABWAHA nominated author of over fifty short stories, novellas and novels, including the Library Journal starred When Grumpy Met Sunshine. When not writing deeply emotional and intensely sexy books, she can be found eating jelly turtles, getting way too excited over a million movies and TV shows, and occasionally lusting after moustaches. She lives in Leeds with her family.
To celebrate the release of my upcoming monster loving book, Dealing With A Desperate Demon, I thought I’d do a list of my all-time favourite and hottest monsters, for all the lovely readers of the wonderful The Nerd Daily! And so here they are, in no particular order:
Beast, from Beauty And The Beast
No monster loving list would be complete without the undisputed King of them all. Beast is the gateway, the one who came first and allowed all of us to say: you know what, I think he was hotter when he was hairy. And of course, we were all completely correct!
The hairy wolf thing Gary Oldman turns into that ravishes Lucy in the maze, Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
Now bear with me here. I know you only see this thing for five seconds. I get that it looks a bit weird. But it has haunted my dreams for thirty years, so I’ve got to put it in here.
Hellboy, from Hellboy
This one is easy. He’s played by Ron Perlman, which is already a win. He’s surly, and wears an amazing coat, and his horns are cool as all get out. Plus, he is my favourite kind of demon. The type that inspired Jack from my latest book. One who battles his Satanic nature and fights for truth and justice and a better tomorrow. He’s Superman, but behorned!
Frankenstein’s monster, Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein
A controversial move I know, choosing a creature we’ve barely seen from a film that isn’t out yet. But I feel very confident in this pick, knowing that a) he’s being played by Jacob Elordi, b) he wears a very hot cloak, and finally and most importantly c) there is that image of Mia Goth staring up at him with what can only be described as thinly concealed lust. Mia, we get it, hon.
The monster, from Your Monster
Really, I’m including this guy for two reasons. The first is that he’s sardonic and sexy and weird, on top of all the growly hairiness. And the second is simply that Your Monster is a wonderful movie, and everybody should watch it immediately! If you would like a delightful entry into the world of getting romantic with a monster, this is definitely the one for you.
And that’s it, my non-exhaustive list of sexy monsters. If you’re new to this game, I hope you enjoyed reading it, and should you be intrigued, will pick up my book. But if you’re not new, spread the love around. Share your fave sexy monster with the rest of us! Happy spooky season reading,
