Differently Morphous, released in March of 2018 as an Audible exclusive , is the 4th novel written and read by notable internet personality Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw. It was released in physical and e-book format in April 2019. The story explores a combination of two topics Yahtzee has shown himself to be quite fond of: Cosmic Horror and Scathing political commentary. The story follows various members of The Ministry Of Occultism, a secret organization dedicated to suppressing and keeping secret, the otherworldly creatures that threaten our world, when a mass emigration of "fluidics" (read: Shoggoths) demanding British citizenship put a bit of a spanner in the works.

It took me a while to figure out where the story was going, due there being a lot of time spent on the world building and character introductions, but once it got going, it turned out to be a murder-mystery with a magic twist. The mystery is centered around the murder of a "fluidid", an interdimensional being with many physical similarities to slugs, and the subsequent hunt for the killer by the Department of Inter-Dimensional Afairs, or DIDA for short.Power at a Price: Healing magic sounds amazingly useful, but turns out healers don't actually heal, but rather transfer their life force to another person, meaning the healer can very easily kill themselves using it. To make it even worse, the power is pleasurable, meaning not only can healers harm themselves, they are compelled to do so once they begin, which can often lead to their own death as they become unable to resist continuing to use their power.

There are many, and I mean MANY references to modern society's tendency towards being "politically correct" and "not offending anyone" with "free speech". Yahtzee constantly takes jabs at this modern phenomenon and even has a character incorporate this into her very personality. Hillarious stuff, but even so, there's enough there to make you think about it as well.
