The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey

This book was right up my alley!  The journal of Will Henry has been found after his death.  It tells the story of his time with Dr. Pellinore Warthrop, a leader in his field of study: monstrumology, the study of monsters.  Young Will lived with the doctor from the time of his parents death and instead of being reassured that monsters aren't real, was taught how to study and fight them.  This book had a great mystery.  How did the man eating anthropophagi (scary headless monsters) make their way from their native Africa to New England and stay undiscovered for so long.  I loved all the gory details of the monsters and their lair!  I bought this on audio too, if you want to listen while you read go check out an ipod!!
