For the readers who watched The X-Files and thought, “Okay, but what if I want the monster?”

A weird little list of paranormal rom-coms, cryptid crushes, alien encounters, werewolf nonsense, Loch Ness longing, conspiracy chaos, and supernatural love interests who are probably bad for your blood pressure but excellent for the plot.

Bring snacks, suspend disbelief, and please do not flirt with Bigfoot unsupervised.
