'Gorily gothic, darkly baroque, rotten with magic and shot with shafts of wicked humor, The Monster of Elendhaven is a perfect nightmare.' - Margo Lanagan 'A tight, perfectly crafted story about retribution and what monsters deserve stylish, quirky, and weirdly sexy? I'm into it.' - R F Kuang

'Horror fans will want to grab this one - Giesbrecht has an extremely compelling voice.' - Kat Howard 'Jennifer Giesbrecht's The Monster of Elendhaven is a black tide of perversity, violence, and lush writing. 'Jennifer Giesbrecht's The Monster of Elendhaven is a gothic delight, dark as an oil-slick and iridescent with feral humour, bruise-violet prose, and a fascinatingly depraved tragic romance.' - Indrapramit Das At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied. 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 Babel A Finalist for the 2019 Shirley Jackson Award!
