I have kept these secrets to myself. I have never broken this confidence. However, the person who trusted me and whom I held these secrets is no longer with us and has been for over forty years. The one who cursed me and the one who rescued me.
Thus begins the journal of Will Henry, the abandoned helper of Dr. Pellinore Warthorpe, a man whose unique area of expertise is monstrumology, or the study of monsters. Will has seen sights he never would have believed were genuine and encountered a number of enigmatic late-night visitors during his stay with the doctor. However, their most lethal case to date is brought with them when a grave robber calls in the middle of the night with a macabre discovery.
A gothic masterwork that delves into the shadowy recesses of both human and monster nature and poses the question: At what point does humanity turn into the exact creature it hunts?
