The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey
Friday Finds is hosted by Should Be Reading.
Here’s the blurb from the publisher:
These are the secrets I have kept. This is the trust I never betrayed.
But he is dead now and has been for more than forty years, the one who gave me his trust, the one for whom I kept these secrets.The one who saved me…and the one who cursed me.
So begins the journal of Will Henry, orphaned assistant to Dr. Pellinore War throp, a man with a most unusual specialty: monstrumology, the study of monsters. In his time with the doctor, Will has met many a mysterious late-night visitor, and seen things he never imagined were real. But when a grave robber comes calling in the middle of the night with a grueso me find, he brings with him their most deadly case yet.
Critically acclaimed author Rick Yancey has written a gothic tour de force that explores the darkest heart of man and monster and asks the question: When does a man become the very thing he hunts?
What I didn’t know until I looked this one up, is that this is a Young Adult book. Maybe my son might enjoy it. Certainly suits the season.

Very intriguing. I like your find!
Friday Find: Rapacia: The Second Circle of Heck
What a cool career title! This sounds like the perfect Halloween book too!
I heard the author speak at SIBA and he said boys really seem to be enjoying this book. I think it's considered YA horror – does your son enjoy horror?
I think this was offered as a free book on Kindle recently!
This does sound deliciously creepy, doesn't it?
It does look like a good seasonal read…the cover alone is freaking me out!
Very creepy sounding – and such a great title!
First I'd have to find a YA boy to pronounce the title for me. lol I'm very glad books are geared toward young boys. This one does look good.
I'm really tempted by this one but I'm afraid it will be too gory. I can't do gore much these days. Maybe after you read it, you'll let me know just how bad it gets . . .
