Monster Porn by KJ Moore is perfect for erotica reader.

Mike is a foley artist and he knows how to produce sound effects for porn film industry. He finds himself falling for Chloe, the top actress in “FreK Porn”. However, Dwain, his bussiness partner has another thought about their bussiness.

Love it. It's something different and a bit saucy if ya know what I mean.
Give it a chance. You will love it too.
Trust me.

This is a brief story about a couple of men working in the porn industry who realise they can make a buck off disabled people. I was expecting it to feel more satirical, rather than downright ableist, it wasn’t executed well in my opinion.

There are adlibs of what foods and household items can be used to simulate sex noises sprinkled throughout which was fun. While the author highlights the non-glamorous elements of shooting porn, an opportunity to spark thoughts about exploitation in the porn industry is squandered. When the MC’s business partner does something COMPLETELY immoral, the MC gets to hop onto his high horse, which is easy when there’s no grey area. This book just didn’t do what it set out to do.

I love novellas but this one definitely lacks in fleshing out the characters, I knew next to nothing about any of them and I really need that connection to enjoy a book. Ultimately I only experienced empathy for one very minor character and the rest is forgettable. The thing this book has going for it is that I was definitely engaged and needed to know what would happen next. If you’re looking for a quick, wtf read you might enjoy! But not if you want something with any message or memorability.

Thank you Netgalley & Blood Bound Books!!

This book is not for everyone, however, those who like a horror/offbeat type book would enjoy this. The premise I found to be interesting and not like anything I've really read before. I do wish it was a bit longer to flesh out the characters a little more and get more of Mike/Chloe.

I have to be honest and say this book had some very high high points and some very low low points. The high moments were the adlibs where you learn what household objects make specific sounds in p0rn. And the lowest moments were all those releated to the treatment and discussion with of disabled people. I don't believe the book is Own Voices so it just didn't feel very balanced or tasteful in how disability was weaved into the. narrative other than the main character's own (undiagnosed) condition which also could have been explored more and been more interesting.

Thanks to NetGalley for a free review copy.

this was shockingly good. I went in expecting a real splatterpunk type of vibe, but this was a lot better than that. I felt like this was subversive but still respectful of persons with disabilities.

I found this book quite uncomfortable to read…I had hoped for a more empowering or inspiring feeling to it but I actually just felt a bit repulsed and strange once I had finished it…

I think this book was interesting but nothing full stuck out to me. I think the writing went in and out on my personal preferences and how I like my writing style to be when reading. Overall I recommend it but it wasn't one I was overly passionate about. I think KJ Moore is talented and I enjoyed reading it but there was some times I felt it dragged even though it is a short book.

This wasn't really a fleshed-out story. I think as a whole the marketing of this book wasn't particularly accurate which led to a lower rating. Overall this wasn't a full story nor did it get any point across which wouldn't have been a problem if it was erotica per se but it wasn't erotica leaving me quite confused. I wouldn't suggest this to my audience outside of reading it for curiosity's sake.

I'm not sure what I was expecting from this book, but it definitely wasn't this. It felt a little unorganized and messy. I expected at least a little plot line, but didn't really get any. It had the erotica aspect, but not much else.

this was a interesting erotic novel, i thought the title Monster porn worked with what I was expecting and worked overall. The characters were everything that I was looking for from the description and really felt for the characters. KJ Moore has a strong writing style and can't wait to read the next book.

The humor around the porn industry was fun, and the characters could have been interesting if they were developed more. This is definitely an unusual little novella.
I think I might have liked it better if the ending wasn't so abrupt. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

I honestly don't know how to feel about this novella. I feel as though it had some value in its critique of the porn industry. It was interesting to watch the morals of the main character erode as the book went further. However, I don't feel as though this is a book I would normally pick up having known what it's about. The marketing was somewhat misleading -- it led me to believe that this was almost some type of odd love story between the main character and Chloe. I thought Chloe would play a much larger role based on the description, and so I was honestly really surprised by what exactly the book was because I went in with a completely different idea.

Quirky, bizarre, and not for the prudish - quick and sometimes funny take on fetish porn and the path to the more and more extreme. Definitely different and amusing in a rather dark way.

Monster Porn was….interesting. I get what the author was trying to do. They succeeded in the over the top humor, satire for the porn industry and how even the craziest things you can do people will still tire of it and demand more. The way disabled people and women are treated and talked about. I kind of expected the ending. As abrupt as it may have been. I would’ve liked a little bit more of Chloe and some more development on our main guy, especially leading up to the end. 2.5/5.

Yes, there are monsters. Yes, there is porn. But this story likely isn't about what you think it is. This is a story about being born different. It's about seeing that difference in others and loving them for it. It's about finding a way to love yourself and become who you were always supposed to be.

Mike is a foley artist in the pornography industry, recording audio during shoots and later dubbing in sound to enhance the films. He meets Chloe, a porn star with a rare disorder that compelled her to amputate part of her body. His attraction to her, mixed with her success in the industry, inspires Mike and his partner Dwain to create a business that focuses on what Dwain calls "Freak porn."

I couldn't put this story down. I read it in one go and was left with my flabbers absolutely gasted. What did I just read? Why was it so good? Why isn't there more? Throughout the story, the author, KJ Moore, inserts these delightfully disturbing and often hilarious insights into foley work. "To generate the thick slapping sound of hips to ass, get a thick piece of raw steak, wet it and slap with a cupped hand." Monster Porn is labeled erotica and satire, but while the story takes place within the porn industry and there are descriptive sex scenes, it is just a backdrop and doesn't elicit arousal. I think satire with an impact is the best way to describe this.

Monster Porn successfully manages to be over-the-top ridiculous and comedic while pointing out how society treats women, the disabled, and the different as a problem unless they can be used to someone's advantage. It points out the hypocrisy of acceptable vs. unacceptable in the world of plastic surgery and body modifications. It is refreshingly respectful and informative regarding the disorder referenced several times throughout, and it never dehumanizes any differently-abled characters.

If you were born differently, you will understand this story more deeply. If not, I still recommend it as a quick read. Hopefully, you will learn something about how other people experience the world around them.

This thrilling ride ensures you reconsider everything you know about the porn industry. You never know what’s going on with other people and this tale proves how important it is to be kind and stay curious. Plus the sound motif was just epic.

I was expecting more horror but got porn instead. Would have liked more character development on Chloe and the narrator.
