by Rick Yancey
"There are monsters that lie in wait under our beds."
Will Henry is but a 12 year old boy with parents he lost in a fire. However, his life is not as simple as it seems. He is the assistant to a "monstrumologist" who studies monsters as his life practice. Things get strange when an unexpected visitor drops by the house and offers a find so improbable Dr. Warthrop, the monstrumologist, does not know what to make of it. After sleepless days and nights of study, Will Henry and Dr. Warthrop encounter a situation bigger then themselves that is sure to end in death. Written in the form of a diary from the perspective of Will Henry, this story is sure to grab your attention and make you want to keep reading.
This not a genre I normally do not pick up. However, I actually really enjoyed it. The story read like a horror movie and kept me at the edge of my comfy seat while I read it. It was not what I expected nor anything I have ever experienced before. However, I did think the doctor was a bit bipolar at times, but Will Henry had enough innocence to make me empathize with him. Overall, I would recommend this book to those who love horror films or are wanting to experience a unique genre.
