Monsters don’t always live under the bed. Sometimes, they live inside us. Sometimes, we become them. Different Beasts by Sonya N. Ozbey dives headfirst into the shadows—where the human and the inhuman blur, twist, and transform.

This isn’t your average collection of stories. It’s a beautifully unsettling exploration of what it means to be other. Each tale peels back the surface of humanity and shows what lies underneath—fear, hunger, power, rage, transformation. And in doing so, it forces us to ask: what makes someone a monster? And what if the real monsters wear human faces?

One quote from the book hits hard: “We all have teeth. Some of us just learn to hide them better.” That’s the kind of line that doesn’t let go. It sticks, lingers, and makes you question your own masks.

Sonya N. Ozbey writes with a raw, lyrical style that grips tight and doesn’t let up. The stories are dark, yes, but not without meaning. They shine light into corners we usually avoid. They explore gender, identity, power dynamics, and emotional survival through a speculative lens—each tale standing alone, but all connected by a fierce undercurrent of truth.
