Creature Classifieds

with Penumbra Publishing


What if iconic literary monsters were looking for love? Imagine what it would be like to write a personal ad as a famous fiend. Jasmine Respess (Editor-in-Chief of Islandia Journal and Founder of Penumbra Press) will lead all those brave enough in concocting a classified ad from the perspective of a momentous literary monster. You can be as thoughtful as Dr. Jekyll or as feral as Mr. Hyde. Who knows, maybe you’ll find a match made in hell?

Brat Prince Seeking Knight or Queen
Forever 20, Scorpio sun (canon), Leo rising (assumed). New Orleans-based bachelor with a praise kink seeking a melancholy-prone submissive. I am looking for a fellow lover of music and theater with refined taste for hedonistic decadence to join me on the Devi’s Road. If you’re a vampire, be good at it; enjoy it! LOYALTY. My enemies must be our enemies. French fluency is best. An artist’s soul and/or undeniable beauty required. I am an international, preternatural rockstar, so a ‘D.I.N.K.’ lifestyle is non-negotiable. Must be ok with multiple lovers, muses, and mothers. Libras preferred.
