Combat Monsters, Untold Tales of World War II is a new alt-history anthology from Blackstone. Reimagined battles, injecting fantastical monsters that helped change the course of history. From celebrated urban fantasy authors!

Publishers Weekly Review blurbs:

“Gritty depictions of the fog of war and combat stresses that facilitate suspending disbelief at the introduction of mythic creatures.” “Twenty high-octane stories that add terrifying monsters to the battlefields of WWII.”

Catherine’s story is Grigoriy’s Army. Grigoriy is a neurodivergent, very reluctant hero who just wants to farm. Years before, his late father, a Soviet neurobiologist took his son to the lab, and Grigoriy infused much intuitively. He’s finally figured out a way to clear fields using his genetically altered bears. But when the NKVD Captain of the Red Armed forces tracks him down, Grigoriy’s world is upturned.
