'I read The Monster of Elendhaven in a single vicious, delightful bite. 'Pitch dark, whimsical, topical, wild, and lushly written, Jennifer Giesbrecht's The Monster of Elendhaven is the most reading fun you'll have this year.' -Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts I loved it.' -Joe Hill, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Fireman, N0S4A2, and Horns 'Jennifer Giesbrecht's The Monster of Elendhaven is a black tide of perversity, violence, and lush writing. These monsters of Elendhaven will have their revenge on everyone who wronged the city, even if they have to burn the world to do it.

His frail master sends him out on errands, twisting him with magic, crafting a plan too cruel to name, while the monster's heart grows fonder and colder and more cunning. A thing without a name stalks the city, a thing shaped like a man, with a dark heart and long pale fingers yearning to wrap around throats. Wracked by plague, abandoned by the South, stripped of industry and left to die. The city of Elendhaven sulks on the edge of the ocean. Kuang, #1 New York Times bestselling author of BabelĪ Finalist for the 2019 Shirley Jackson Award!ĭebut author Jennifer Giesbrecht paints a darkly compelling fantasy of revenge in The Monster of Elendhaven, a dark fantasy about murder, a monster, and the magician who loves both. 'A tight, perfectly crafted story about retribution and what monsters deserve stylish, quirky, and weirdly sexy? I'm into it.' -R.

'A black tide of perversity, violence, and lush writing.
