After the1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.

Flesh-eating danger abounds in the chilling sequel to The Monstrumologist thatis as fast-paced, elegant, and yes, gruesome as its predecessor (Publishers Weekly, starred review).While Dr. Warthrop is attempting to disprove that Homo vampiris, the vampire, could exist, his former fiancee asks him to save her husband, who has been captured by a Wendigoa creature that starves even as it gorges itself on human flesh. Although Dr. Warthrop considers the Wendigo to be fictitious, he relents and performs the rescuebut is he right to doubt the Wendigos existence? Can the doctor and Will Henry hunt down the ultimate predator, who, like the legendary vampire, is neither living nor dead, and whose hunger for human flesh is never satisfied?This second book in The Monstrumologist series explores the line between myth and reality, love and hate, genius and madness.

We're here, then we're gone, and that was true before they came. That's always been true. The Others didn't invent death; they just perfected it. Gave death a face to put back in our face, because they knew that was the only way to crush us. It won't end on any continent or ocean, no mountain or plain, jungle or desert. It will end where it began, where it had been from the beginning, on the battlefield of the last beating human heart.
