I’m sitting in the main terminal building at SeaTac airport, having a late lunch/early dinner while waiting for the flight to Colorado. I’m still not sold on e-readers (another rant, for another post), but I’ve resuscitated my 1st generation Kindle for the trip, on the theory that one Kindle takes up less space than the 3 novels I hope to read this next week, all of which I own in hardcover editions. The cellular connection on my Kindle reminds me of 56k modems (though I’m probably misremembering, and there’s no awesome sound effects when connecting) but eventually I manage to peruse the “Recommended for You” section and pick out The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey. Digital synchronicity causes this book to appear on my recommendation page and on my “To Read” shelf at Goodreads. Must mean something, right? Sample digested over burritos, and full book bought and paid for before the horrible “turn off all electronic devices” warning when the plane’s door closes. I don’t read a lot of horror, but I like YA, and I like Victorian era settings, so the promise of “Lovcraftian YA horror” managed to get my attention. What I have read a lot of is vampire stories, and zombie stories. One of the features of The Monstrumologist I most appreciated was that there was A new kind of monster! I’d never heard of Anthropophagi before, but I’m damn glad to have met them. How refreshing! The story features a pair of characters at it’s heart: the protagonist, an orphaned child, isolated and employed by, the Monstrumologist, an eccentric, mad scientist striving to not deal with the horrors of his own past. The action covers a small area of space and time, with an interesting supporting cast. The plot was sell structured, nicely paced, and really enjoyable. I’m not fully converted to the genre by any means, but I’m very glad to have made the detour from my normal fodder. If you’ve any interest in Lovcraftian horror and enjoy YA, give this novel a try.
