ART!
Deluxe Unhuman
As a note: I have no involvement with this project, other than the creators - Cloud Curio - have a local brick-and-mortar store, and I have enthusiastically backed this Kickstarter.
Monstrous is basically a system-neutral monster sourcebook, emphasizing "flavor and narrative impact", with rich backgrounds and motivations for classic monsters, and a system to generate your own versions of that same kind of stuff.
From what I've seen, it's written in such a descriptive way that it would be easy to take the ideas and express them in whatever system you're using.
It looks like a way to think more deeply about monsters and the stories you can tell with them, surprise your players with strange new versions of monsters they know, inspire yourself with new ways of thinking about monsters, and grow your setting.
The project page features art by Kyle Latino, of the Map Crow YouTube channel. He's got at a few videos up about this project.
The project page has a links to a free preview, videos, and a podcast episode about using Monstrous to develop or flesh-out the map of your setting.
It seems like a really valuable addition to any gamer's library.
