Reviews
""A book that will make you incredibly invested in the relationships between AIs. This is a clever and imaginative retelling of aspects of Dracula that makes you both giggle and gasp."" --Kimberly Lemming, USA Today bestselling author of I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com ""A gloriously clever mashup of genres that captures the loneliness of space and the joy of finding companions to explore it with. I laughed one page, cried the next, and cheered for Demeter and her motley crew throughout. Of Monsters and Mainframes is a delight from start to finish."" --Maiga Doocy, Sunday Times bestselling author of Sorcery and Small Magics ""Of Monsters and Mainframes is fast and fun, with crackling prose, airlock-cold chills, and a lot to love in its too-human inhuman protagonists. It's a treat to read a book that feels so modern and so classic at the same time, sitting right on the bridge between Murderbot and a monster movie."" --Karen Osborne, author of Architects of Memory ""I devoured this like a mythical creature feasting on an interstellar crew. Delightful, unhinged, and obscenely compelling. Told through a quippy lens, this story is incredibly warm for a monster mash set in space. It feels like a new wave of fable, and I can't recommend it enough."" --Craig Montgomery, author of A Circle of Stars ""Of Monsters and Mainframes is an exquisite kaleidoscope of genre and style that drips with nostalgia yet remains fresh and exciting. Truelove deftly balances laugh-out-loud humor with cutting-edge tension while weaving a heart-swelling tale of friendship, identity, and the meaning of humanity."" --S. Hati, author of And the Sky Bled ""This book is a warm hug in bloodied arms. Mixing hull breaches with skeletons eating chips, it's a fantastic and strange journey into interspecies friendships and slow-burn platonic robotic love. The entire cast could step off the page and slap me in the face, and I would thank them for it."" --Eli Snow, author of The Divine Gardener's Handbook
