The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey
3.0
3.5//
Enjoyed the story for the most part. Though there were some moments were the characters and themes of the book played into ideas that certain societies are more "savage" than others. I could excuse the characters because they are people "of the era" in 1888, but these themes were introduced by the author so that left me a little sour.
Some parts of the book did also feel overwritten. I'm usually not a picky reader when it comes to the writing but it was more obvious to me in this instance, for some reason.
I did like how brutal this book was. I haven't read a book with body horror in a while, but it was very creepy in some parts.
Major tw for body horror, bug horror, and death of a parent.
