Synopsis

MONSTERS ARE REAL.

Will Henry is the orphan apprentice of a doctor with an unusual specialty: monstrumology, the study of monsters. When a midnight visitor brings them the body of a young girl entwined with the corpse of an Anthropophagus, it is the start of the most mysterious case of Will Henry’s life.

Anthropophagi are headless monsters whose razor-sharp teeth are in their stomachs—and they are supposed to be extinct in this part of the world. Now Will and the monstrumologist are in a race against time to put a stop to the plague of monsters before they kill again.

“Will’s intelligent diary captures their page-turning, nightmarish adventures and the constructs and evolving scientific theories of the time as well as his budding independence.”—Kirkus Reviews

Goodreads review by Evelyn (devours and digests words) on September 19, 2015

The sequel to The Monstrumologist is like a punch to the gut, and an arrow through the heart. I must say... it was quite a torture reading this but it's a blissful one. No kidding. This was great. If not better than the first book itself. Granted. By the time, I finished the book I was left with a t......more
