These are the secrets I have kept. This is the trust I
never betrayed. But he is dead now and has been for nearly ninety years, the one who gave me his trust, the one for whom I kept these secrets.
The one who saved me... and the one who cursed me.
So starts
the diary of Will Henry, orphan and assistant to a doctor with a most
unusual specialty: monster hunting. In the short time he has lived with
the doctor, Will has grown accustomed to his late night callers and
dangerous business. But when one visitor comes with the body of a young
girl and the monster that was eating her, Will's world is about to
change forever. The doctor has discovered a baby Anthropophagus - a
headless monster that feeds through a mouth in its chest - and it signals a growing number of Anthropophagi. Now, Will and the doctor must face
the horror threatening to overtake and consume our world before it is
too late.
The Monstrumologist is the first stunning gothic adventure in a series that combines the spirit of H. P. Lovecraft with the storytelling ability of Rick Riorden.
