Namun, Will tak bisa sepenuhnya melupakan Dr. Warthrop, dan ketika Arkwright pulang, menyatakan sang doktor telah tiada, Will sangat sedih—tapi tidak percaya pada kabar itu. Bertekad untuk mengetahui yang sebenarnya, Will pergi ke London. Dia tahu bahwa jika berhasil, dia akan tercebur ke dalam kengerian yang jauh lebih buruk daripada yang pernah dialaminya selama ini.

Saat berusaha menemukan bukti yang menyangkal keberadaan Homo vampiris, kaum vampir, Dr. Warthrop diminta mantan tunangannya menyelamatkan suami wanita itu dari Wendigo, makhluk pemangsa manusia. Meskipun menganggap Wendigo cuma fiktif, Warthrop berhasil menolong si suami dari kematian dan kelaparan. Lalu melihat laki-laki tersebut berubah menjadi Wendigo. Mampukah sang doktor dan Will Henry memburu si predator utama, yang seperti vampir, tidak hidup tapi juga tidak mati, tak pernah puas memangsa manusia? Buku kedua seri Sang Monstrumologis ini mengeksplorasi batas antara mitos dan kenyataan, cinta dan benci, genius dan gila.

Flesh-eating danger abounds in the chilling sequel to The Monstrumologist that is “as fast-paced, elegant, and yes, gruesome as its predecessor” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). While Dr. Warthrop is attempting to disprove that Homo vampiris, the vampire, could exist, his former fiancée asks him to save her husband, who has been captured by a Wendigo—a creature that starves even as it gorges itself on human flesh. Although Dr. Warthrop considers the Wendigo to be fictitious, he relents and performs the rescue—but is he right to doubt the Wendigo’s existence? Can the doctor and Will Henry hunt down the ultimate predator, who, like the legendary vampire, is neither living nor dead, and whose hunger for human flesh is never satisfied? This second book in The Monstrumologist series explores the line between myth and reality, love and hate, genius and madness.

A monster-hunting doctor and his apprentice face off against a plague of monsters in the first book of a terrifying series. Publishers Weekly says “horror lovers will be rapt.” These are the secrets I have kept. So starts the diary of Will Henry, orphan and assistant to a doctor with a most unusual specialty: monster hunting. In the short time he has lived with the doctor in nineteenth-century New England, 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, Will’s world changes forever. The doctor has discovered a baby Anthropophagus—a headless monster that feeds through a mouth in its chest—and it signals a growing number of Anthropophagi. Will and the doctor must face the horror threatening to overtake and consume the world…before it is too late. The Monstrumologist is the first stunning gothic adventure in a series that combines the terror of HP Lovecraft with the spirit of Arthur Conan Doyle.

When Dr. Warthrop begins to doubt fourteen-year-old Will Henry''s loyalty, he sets him against one of the most horrific creatures in the Monstrumarium unaware that Will''s life and his own fate will lie in the balance.

Descend into the monstrous depths of horror and gory, gothic adventure with the complete Monstrumologist collection from Rick Yancey, now available as a collectible boxed set.

When Dr. Warthrop goes hunting for the "Holy Grail of Monstrumology" in 1888, twelve-year-old orphan Will Henry follows him to Socotra, plunging into depths of horror worse than anything he has experienced so far.

Will Henry is an orphan, and assistant to a doctor with a most unusual specialty: monster hunting. Working by the doctor''s side, Will must help fight back against creatures from the darkest myths and legends in human history to protect the people of the world.

Alfred Kropp was just trying to survive high school when his guardian uncle gets him roped into a suspicious get-rich-quick scheme that changes his life forever: stealing Excalibur - the legendary sword of King Arthur. But after Alfred unwittingly delivers the sword into the hands of the enemy, he sets off on an unlikely quest to try to right his wrong and save the world from imminent destruction. This gripping, fast-paced, and often hilarious novel is both a thrilling adventure story and an engaging account of one boy''s coming of age.

There are some things deep within the belly of the earth that should never be disturbed. Which is exactly why Alfred wants to stay at home. When a vision foretells a cataclysmic battle between the "Sons of Light" and the "Sons of Darkness", Alfred is called into action. Whoever finds the fabled 13th skull of Merlin, will have in his hands the power to usher in a new Dark Age ... and the Apocalypse. And so the race is on to find the skull, which rests at the bottom of an abyss called Krubera - a place so terrifying it nearly drove Alfred''s mentor, Op-Nine, insane...

Before The 5th Wave, there was Alfred Kropp. This third book in Rick Yancey''s lauded series was called "perfect" by Rick Riordan, and James Patterson said that the "action is fast, furious, and nonstop--and so is the fun." Now the books feature a bold and exciting new look for the next generation of readers to fall in love with. Alfred Kropp thought he was finally safe, but he was wrong. Not only is someone out to kill Alfred, but the very people sworn to protect him now want to use him and his abilities for deadly means. And if Alfred isn''t careful, he may not be getting out of this adventure alive . . . Just right for fans of James Patterson and Anthony Horowitz, the third book in this acclaimed series from New York Times bestselling author Rick Yancey brings all the thrills, action, and humor to a rewarding close.

Before The 5th Wave, there was Alfred Kropp. This second book in Rick Yancey''s lauded series was called a "rip-roaring story that teens will love" in School Library Journal''s starred review. Things have just settled down for Alfred, when he''s suddenly kidnapped and forced to face a terrible threat--the Seal of Solomon. For millennia, the fallen angels of heaven were controlled by the ring. Now the ring has been stolen, and if it''s not recovered, all hell will break loose . . . Packed with thrills and laughs on every page, the second book in New York Times bestselling author Rick Yancey''s series proves once again that heroes can come from anywhere, and anyone.
