The Record of Unusual Creatures
by Yuan Tong
A strong vampire/werewolf-adjacent expansion pick because it is funny, complete, cleaner romantically, and more heartfelt than the monster-roommate premise suggests.
What it is about
A cosmic apartment-comedy adventure follows a human inspector, a poor vampire countess, a self-proclaimed werewolf, and other supernatural tenants into increasingly large sci-fi fantasy crises.
