About The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey

Will Henry’s diary records his life as the orphaned assistant to Dr. Pellinore Warthorpe, whose unusual field is monstrumology—the study of monsters. Will has encountered mysterious late-night visitors and witnessed things he never imagined were real.

A grave robber’s arrival with a gruesome find brings Will and the doctor their most dangerous case yet. Blending young adult horror with mystery and supernatural elements, the novel also asks where the boundary lies between the monster being hunted and the person doing the hunting.

Readers drawn to gothic horror, monster lore, and historical fiction may find this a fitting choice. The story is presented through Will’s diary, giving the narrative a personal account of his work with the doctor.
