The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey
A Printz Award Honor Book"Horror lovers will be rapt." --Publishers Weekly
An orphan apprenticed to a monster hunter reveals their "page-turning, nightmarish adventures" (Kirkus Reviews) in this first book of the diary-style, historical gothic Monstrumologist young adult series.
These are the secrets I have kept.
Will Henry, an orphan in nineteenth-century New England, works as the 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 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.
Rick Yancey is also the author of Confessions of a Tax Collector, a book and memoir. He and his family live in Gainesville, Florida, where he is a published playwright and former theatrical critic.
