The Relationship Monsters Field Guide

This book is the second half of a two volume set, the other volume being The Loser Magnet Handbook: A Quick Guide to Understanding The Romantically Challenged (ISBN: 978-0595487127) available on Amazon.com. The Loser Magnet Handbook helps you to avoid common dating traps by focusing on your approach to dating. The current volume, in contrast, outlines major dangers in the world of dating and relationships by focusing on the potential partner. Each danger is, of course, a different kind of monster that is to be avoided at all costs! Great care has been taken to familiarize the reader with the general features, look, and overall feel of each creature so that it might be spotted well in advance of a chance encounter. It is important to emphasize that the monsters that follow are each presented in their “pure” forms. This is not to imply that they cannot take on other forms, however. The reader is warned that each monster in the pages that follow has the potential to crossbreed with the others, giving rise to a dizzying array of relationship monstrosities. To detail all of these possible mutations and permutations goes far beyond the scope of this text. It is hoped that the reader will find the book in its current, more parsimonious form, productive, valuable, and empowering nonetheless. In short, this book is a beginning. It is foundational reading for anyone who intends on navigating the world of dating and relationships in a safe, healthy, fulfilling manner. The book has been written in a gender-neutral and sexuality-neutral way. There is no presumption that a relationship monster must be male or must be straight, for example. A monster is a monster, no matter what its biology or romantic orientation. Violet Void, whose work can be found at www.TruePoison.com, did the cover and illustrations. Enjoy!
