REVIEWS FOR
THE MONSTRUMOLOGIST...

* “With a roaring sense of adventure and enough viscera to gag the hardiest of gore hounds, Yancey’s series starter might just be the best horror novel of the year.”


—Booklist, starred review

“Will’s intelligent diary captures their page-turning, nightmarish adventures and the constructs and evolving scientific theories of the time as well as his budding independence.”


—Kirkus Reviews

“Yancey’s elegant depiction of an America plagued with monsters, human and otherwise, spares no grisly detail … Horror lovers will be rapt.”


—Publishers Weekly

“I LOVE this book and really hope more journals from Will Henry are discovered as the ones the anonymous author are given deal primarily with the anthropophagi. Working with Dr. Warthrop, you just KNOW there had to be many more disturbing and gruesome adventures for our young Will….Don’t let the Young Adult label make you hesitate to buy this book.  I’ve read real adult horror that wasn’t this nightmarish…and icky.”

“Lovers of horror, the gruesome and the grotesque, this is the book for you.  Each Anthropophagi attack is described with grim realism down to the shattered skulls and dripping gore.  Will Henry's observations made me cringe and want to turn away even as I couldn't put this book down….I highly recommend this book.  It really made me wish the next book had already come out so I could continue on with Will Henry through his years as apprentice to a monstrumologist. But even though it's the first book in a series, it doesn't leave you hanging.  It stands alone, but left me wanting more, and to me, that's the sign of a good read. Seriously, what are you waiting for???” 



—Katie Clark,

Winfield Public Library

“The characters were multi-layered, the plot was interesting, the monsters scary and the ending was satisfying. I'm trying to think of another book to compare it to, or at least to say, "If you like (blank) then this book is for you" but I just can't. This book is truly unique.”



 —The Opinionated Reader

“The Monstrumologist is an incredibly well written book that contains elements of mystery, horror, and adventure. Yancey fills this book with both atmosphere and gore.  Written in a gothic style, there is no romance here, only a world of darkness and dread. The relationships of the characters, especially between Will Henry and Dr. Warthrop are complex and develop throughout the story…. In short, The Monstrumologist is a wonderful, old-fashioned horror tale.”
