Fantastisk läsning!« | VOYA»Yancey tar den bloddrypande skräckberättelsen till nya höjder.« | SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL»Kan mycket väl vara årets bästa skräckroman.« | BOOKLISTMonstrumologi s.1. Studiet av livsformer som i regel är fientliga mot människan och ej vetenskapligt erkända såsom organismer, särskilt sådana som anses vara produkter av myt och folktro.2. Verksamheten att jaga sådana varelser.Detta är hemligheterna som jag har bevarat Så börjar Will Henrys berättelse. Will är en föräldralös pojke som är assistent åt en doktor av ett högst ovanligt slag: en som studerar monster, och jagar dem. Under den tid Will har bott tillsammans med doktorn i 1800-talets New England har han vant sig vid nattliga besök och mystiska expeditioner. Men när en besökare dyker upp med kvarlevorna av en ung flicka och det monster som ätit henne förändras hans värld för alltid.Monstret är en anthropophag, en huvudlös varelse som äter genom en mun i bröstkorgen. Och det finns tecken på att antalet anthropophager nu ökar i skrämmande takt.Will Henry och doktorn har inget annat val: De måste konfrontera den fasa som hotar att ta över och förtära världen.RICK YANCEY är den amerikanska författaren bakom den storsäljande Den femte vågen-trilogin, som nu också är på väg att filmatiseras av Sony Pictures (den första filmen går upp på svenska biografer i januari 2016).

Lovecraft och andra litterära och historiska figurer fångar Wills dagbok hans och doktorns mardrömslika bladvändar-äventyr.« | KIRKUS REVIEWS»Har alla de bästa viktorianska mysterie- och skräckelementen. Den som gillar riktigt läskig skräck kommer inte att kunna sluta läsa.« | THE BULLETIN OF THE CENTER FOR CHILDREN'S BOOKS

Hon bönar och ber doktorn om hjälp. Hennes make John Chanler är spårlöst försvunnen i den kanadensiska vildmarken, dit han begett sig på jakt efter en mytomspunnen, fruktad, livsfarlig varelse: Wendigon.Doktor Warthrop anser att Wendigons förbannelse är ren vidskeplighet, men han och Will Henry beger sig ändå ut i marker- na för att leta efter doktorns försvunne vän.Och även om de är så säkra på sin sak beträffande Wendigon-myten, ställs de snart inför frågan: Vad är det som härjar i dessa skogar? Och vad har John Chanler egentligen råkat ut för?Wendigons förbannelse är den andra boken i den hyllade Monstrumologen-serien, som kombinerar H. P.

In The 5th Wave, Cassie finds herself in a world devastated by alien attack, desperate to save herself and find her lost brother. As the onslaught from the Others--the beings that look human and kill anyone they see--continues, Cassie's mission is to stay alone and stay alive. But then she meets Evan Walker, who may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother--or even saving herself. Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. In The Infinite Sea, the heart-stopping action continues as the situation gets even worse for Cassie and the rest of Earth's remaining human survivors. No one knows the depths to which the Others will sink, nor can they imagine the heights to which the human spirit can reach as they face the ultimate test. In The Last Star, Earth's remaining survivors will need to decide what's more important: saving themselves . . . or saving what makes them human. The final book in this epic series will leave you awestruck. Included in this Collection: The 5th Wave, The Infinite Sea, The Last Star.
