Books where the monster gets the girl?

Sometimes I'll play horror games like Phasmophobia with its frightening setting and beings stalking me through the dark. My thoughts are always “I wish this were a romance instead” and that there was passion instead of murder. 🤣

What are some great books, films or graphic novels where the horror being gets the girl? Please no bone-fingered corpse-things, sexual assault or beastmen, thank you. I'm more so interested in shadow beings, demons and shapeshifting gentleman, as long as there's a hug at the end of the night. Bonus points if the story is rather wholesome.

Here are monster in that game

Cute pictures of her new velvet hippo Hickory:

Hickory is home! After a decent introduction to Honey, we took him home. Honey was only slightly annoying to him as she yodeled loudly in his face for the first 30 minutes she met him. So, here he is! Hickory the Hippo!

Some of the typical comments:

Hickory is going to need lots of tennis balls!! I love him so much. Completely adorable! 🧡💙

⠀

He's beautiful I love him 🥰❤️ congratulations!

⠀

Honey still seems displeased.

Displeased? She looks like she's completely disassociated. Unable to comprehend the horror of the situation.

Only 3 hours later, disaster strikes!

Hickory bit honey. I had just gone into my bedroom to take a nap. My husband and two sons were in the living room with the dogs. The dogs were fine. Then my daughter came home. Honey immediately ran to greet her, as did Hickory. The next thing I heard was a dog screaming and my husband screaming, “NO!! NO!! STOP!!” I ran out, and Hickory had Honey by the head. Right as I got to them, he shook her. I put pressure behind his jaw and he immediately let go of her and backed away. I had both dogs by the collar and told my husband to take Hickory to another part of the house away from Honey while I assessed her wounds. Two punctures on her ear lobe, and a puncture on her cheek. We called the vet and got instructions to care for her. The dogs are separated in different areas of the house, with strict instructions about who is to play with him, because we have a 5 year old child who is obsessed with him. We are flabbergasted. The meet and greet with them went well. We contacted a friend of ours who runs a pit rescue. We DO NOT want to take him back to the kill shelter. I fricking feel HORRIBLE. I feel like I failed Hickory, Honey, my family, and the shelter. I'm literally sick about it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Both dogs were on leashes. Unfortunately, they both ran to see my daughter at the same time, and I'm guessing the poor guy was just overstimulated . He is NOT a bad boy. He is a sweet, sweet guy. I've been in contact with my vet and some friends who do rescue. One is a veterinarian that specifically does pibbles. Humphrey had a hard time at first, too. He was terrified and reactive to men. It took a lot of work, but he did fine. We currently have the dogs in separate halves of the house. They can see and hear each other, but can't get to each other.

He's NOT a bad boy he's so sweet he only chewed on my dog's head a little bit

If you can't reasonably keep them separated for a bit, then for everyone's safety, return to the shelter but please do not tell them about the bite because it'll be an instant death sentence. Just say your dog wasn't getting along with him and it wasn't a good fit.

GOOD idea, there's too many toddlers in the world anyway

OP, is your Husband the one who's had most of the interactions with Hickory, or are You the one? Because it may have been a relatively "simple" matter (although ADMITTEDLY Terrifying!) matter of resource guarding.💖 Both dogs were FINE, and doing reasonably well together UNTIL your Daughter walked in. She was a NEW human, and therefore a NEW resource for both dogs. He wanted the resource (remember, he hasn't HAD many resources to call his OWN in who knows how long, living in a shelter!💖), and he was trying to protect that resource (even though the resource was your DAUGHTER!), from Honey. Work with your vet, work with your friend who's been with the rescue, AND see if there's anyone GOOD locally, who works in Behavior, who you guys can tap in for advice!💝 You're very much still in that FIRST Three, of the 3-3-3 rule, correct? For now, YES, ABSOLUTELY keep the kids away unless you're next to them, keep the dogs separate but able to see/smell & get used to each other, and then take it slowly and assess each step!💖 This MAY be a deal-breaker, OR it may be a simple blip. Time, patience, and careful observation will tell you which one it truly is!

I can't be the only one who finds the juxtaposition funny between the sparkly hearts and the advice on how to stop your dogs eating each other

I opened to check what's broken used multimeter and apparently a cap that ain't even costing 1 cent broke, it regulate some voltage it's very tiny and my soldering skills ain't that good to fix it + need microscope. Things for burgers to understand here in West European cities people don't even have screw drivers and legit don't know how to change light bulb. So I checked local ahmeds repair shops and they offer to change liquid thermal paste to a regular one for 120 euro, that's their peak skills and Sony would ask like 300 euro to fix it so after a day I decided to just later give that ps5 to one of my Slavic friend as gift, they will be able to fix it for couple of buxx in their slavshit country. And just buy a new ps5 at bol (Dutch amazon) it was Friday at around 19:00 hours so next morning I woke up at 9:00 went on walk with my dogs, study some then at 12 I decided to track my package and it's written it was delivered at 10:52.

So the package was in south east Netherland and left the post office at 10:45 and in 7 minute has reached me who lives 50+ km from that post office

So I decided to call bol and they told me noo wait until Monday because today (yesterday) was le kings day.

Package that cost 300+ euro are delivered to you after you show id card and sign that it's delivered. So my first thought was likely scenario is Ahmed that can't fix my ps5 decided to just steal that package. But after checking bol sold a ps5 from a shady company whose register ID on national company registration list doesn't match the name.

I just wanted to finish ff7 rebirth before my exams so I hope they just tell me tomorrow that they will return the money so I just going to buy a new ps5 from local media market

Why is dating so much harder now than in the past? What Changed?

Was dating just as hard 40 years ago?

Is it that women work and have careers now so they aren't reliant on men? When less women worked, their life was dependent on looking pretty and finding a man. Now they can support themselves. Is that why it's impossible to find dates?

Finding out what changed in that time may help point to a solution to the male loneliness epidemic that is really hurting men right now. Men used to be the gatekeepers for relationships but now women have that and they are being withholding and borderline cruel. It is really damaging men and I think we need to come up with why it happened and how to solve it.
