The Monstrumologist

by Rick Yancey

Will, a young orphan, has been taken in by Pellinore Warthrop, a self-proclaimed "monstrumologist," or one who studies monsters. The disturbing opening scene shows Will and the monstrumologist with his latest find, a terrifying creature with a dead girl in his grasp. At first Will thinks the monster is a large, headless, man, but soon finds it's an Anthropopagi, human-like creatures whose mouths are in their chests. The monsters have somehow made it to North America, and Will is carried away in an exciting adventure to study, track, and put a stop to these horrors. If you're looking for blood, guts, and gore, you've come to the right place. These creatures love nothing more than to tear humans limb from limb, and Yancey describes it in great detail. In fact, some parts actually made my stomach turn! Enjoy!
