His limbs are long and pale, and he discovers after an accident that he cannot die.Ī chance meeting with a sorcerer named Florian Leickenbloom sets Johann on a dangerous path of murder and revenge, and together the two men begin an experiment that could destroy what’s left of Elendhaven. One such monster, a man named Johann, can’t remember exactly where he came from, but he does know that he isn’t like other men. The story takes place in the bleak, dying city of Elendhaven, a soot-stained, stinking place where legend says that monsters emerge from the black waters of the harbor. There are all sorts of dark mysteries to discover and I certainly don’t want to spoil them. And surprise, this is one novella that actually felt like just the right length! I know readers always complain that novellas are too short, but not so this time.Īlso, I’m keeping this review fairly short because this is a story you need to experience for yourself. And wow, what a great choice! The Monster of Elendhaven was such a wonderful surprise, a dark Gothic tale that drew me in with its unconventional characters and atmospheric setting. I wanted to squeeze in one more review this month, so I decided to grab one of my September novellas in order to make that happen. Monster, Monster, Monster, Johann said to himself, the first half a kiss, the second a hiss. The nitty-gritty: A sinister, blood-soaked story steeped in myth and darkness.
