Will Henry, young assistant and apprentice to Dr. Pellimore Warthrop, who studies monsters, tells a tale where their lives take a sinister turn when they search for the creature, Anthropophagi. Will, 12 year old orphan in 1888, and the Doctor are awakened in the middle of the night by a graverobber with a gruesome discovery in his cart. Depositing the burlap bundle in the basement laboratory, the old man is paid and Dr. Warthrop and Will set to work uncovering what turns out to be the bodies of a monster without a head and a young female.
In this second book in the series, Will Henry’s journals takes Dr. Pellimore Warthrop and Will Henry to Canada to prove the existence of Wendigo, a creature who eats humans. Muriel Chanler, former love of the doctor, comes to Dr. Warthrop to ask him to help find her lost husband who was carried off by the “Mossmouth” better known as the Wendigo. A search party was sent out but John Chanler remains missing.
