YAMonstrumologist series.
Dr. Warthrop and apprentice Will (The Monstrumologist) rescue John Chanler from the Wendigo, a vampire-like creature from American Indian mythology. Chanler recuperates in a Gilded Age New York, where the monstrumologists are holding their annual conference; he soon disappears and a succession of gruesome murders occur. Will's first-person narrative is brooding and atmospheric, conveying just the right sense of mystery and horror.
