An orphan apprenticed to a monster hunter reveals their âpage-turning, nightmarish adventuresâ (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, Willâs world changes forever.
The doctor has discovered a baby Anthropophagusâa headless monster that feeds through a mouth in its chestâand it signals a growing number of Anthropophagi. Will and the doctor must face the horror threatening to overtake and consume the worldâŚbefore it is too late.

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 đ

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!!!
