Christopher Moore

I just read The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove by Christopher Moore

Moore

The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove is Moore's fifth novel, following on the horror-laced humor of Moore's previous books about demons (Practical Demonkeeping), werewolves (Coyote Blue), vampires (Bloodsucking Fiends), and amazons (Island of the Sequined Love Nun).

more sea monsters than The Flood Girls does named Steve

The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove by Christopher Moore might have more sea monsters named Steve than The Flood Girls does, but in lots of other ways they’re quite similar–quirky characters in a small town, their lives and relationships, poignancy in the oddest places, and lots of humor.
