Someone You Can Build a Nest In

Summary

Shesheshen is a shapeshifting monster who lives as an amorphous lump in a ruined manor, building bodies from the bones and chains of past meals when hunters come to kill her. After she is wounded and nursed back to health by a kind human named Homily, who never realizes what she truly is, Shesheshen makes the fatal mistake of falling in love. Wiswell tells this fantasy romance entirely from the monster's perspective, weaving warmth and dark humor into a story about love, family, and accepting who you are.
