About this eBook
A monster-hunting doctor and his apprentice face off against a plague of monsters in the first book of a terrifying series. Publishers Weekly says “horror lovers will be rapt.”
These are the secrets I have kept. 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 in nineteenth-century New England, 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 changes 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. Will and the doctor must face the horror threatening to overtake and consume the world…before it is too late.
The Monstrumologist is the first stunning gothic adventure in a series that combines the terror of HP Lovecraft with the spirit of Arthur Conan Doyle.

The greatest series of all time (after several years mourning for Harry Potter). I don't think I can love another series as much as I love The Monstrumologist. Will Henry and Warthrop's bond is beyond precious. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? BEYOND PRECIOUS 😭

Reminds very well a style of authors of 19th century. Catchy, interesting, waiting for an anthropophagus waiting for you in the dark. I am a new fan of mister Yancey!!!
