But when one visitor comes with the body of a young girl and the monster that was eating her, Will's world changes forever.

Will and the doctor must face the horror threatening to overtake and consume the world...before it is too late. <p/><i>The Monstrumologist</i> is the first stunning gothic adventure in a series that combines the terror of HP Lovecraft with the spirit of Arthur Conan Doyle.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>* </b>"With a roaring sense of adventure and enough viscera to gag the hardiest of gore hounds, Yancey's series starter might just be the best horror novel of the year."--Booklist, starred review "Horror lovers will be rapt."-- "Publishers Weekly, starred review"<br><br>This has all the elements of the best Victorian mystery and horror...Readers who like their horror truly horrible and yet archly distant and peppered with ecstatic Victorian-scented comments on the woes of the human condition will jump right in and not emerge until the last relieved gasp.-- "BCCB"<br><br>This story is gothic horror at its finest and most disturbing.
