This book is not for the faint of heart. It grabs you from page one and takes you into the dark journey of a young man who has lost his parents and is taken in by Dr. Pellinore Warthrop, a monstromologist.
Will Henry is trying to decide if he was blessed or cursed when the doctor took him in as an apprentice monster hunter. When a strange visitor arrives at the doctor's home in the middle of the night bearing a horrible specimen, Will Henry's life will never be the same.
The visitor has brought them a corpse of a young woman entwined with the body of an Anthropophagi. This monster, thought to be extinct in this part of the world, eats through a gaping maw in its belly filled with thousands of teeth. The horror of this discovery can only be topped by the knowledge that where there are one of these monsters, there are many more and time is running out to stop them before they kill again.
This book is written in the spirt of H. P. Lovecraft. The descriptive scenes kept me turning the pages as the gothic story developed into a full on adventure. This book will appeal to anyone who loves a good horror novel, adventure or has a love for mythology. It is dark, but oh so worth the read. Learning this was a series was a wonderful surprise, and I will be counting the days till the next book comes out.
