A large set of articles on monads in the context of Haskell are collected on my bibliography web site: http://haskell.readscheme.org/monads.html

There are also a few, more tutorial, articles available at http://haskell.org/bookshelf/ that are not included on my monads page.

For more theoretical works-- while still being programming language related--I suggest Eugenio Moggi's site: http://www.disi.unige.it/person/MoggiE/publications.html.
