If you loved how Will Henry’s “found” journals pull you into the autopsies and midnight hunts in The Monstrumologist, you’ll relish the diary entries, letters, and telegrams that make up Dracula. Like Will’s notebooks, Jonathan Harker’s journal and Mina’s meticulous records place you right inside the pursuit of a terrifying predator, tracking clues and testimonies as a small circle of investigators assembles their case against the Count.

Drawn to Dr. Pellinore Warthrop’s brilliance and his often ruthless choices—like pushing Will Henry into grisly examinations or colluding with the amoral Kearns? In The Alienist, Dr. Laszlo Kreizler leads a hunt for a killer in 1890s New York with equally unsettling resolve. As with Warthrop’s monster science, Kreizler’s forensic psychology blurs ethics in the name of discovery, surrounding a young assistant with shocking scenes and hard questions about the cost of knowledge.

If the fog-drenched cemeteries, lantern-lit dissections, and dread-soaked nights stalking anthropophagi gripped you in The Monstrumologist, The Terror delivers that same relentless chill. Trapped in Arctic darkness, the crews of the Erebus and Terror face starvation, madness, and a stalking horror—much like Warthrop and Will Henry facing a predator that turns every shadow into a threat.

If you were riveted by Warthrop’s gruesome autopsies and the graphic details of the anthropophagi’s feeding in The Monstrumologist, The Troop hits the same nerve. A scout troop on a remote island confronts a biohorror parasite with body-horror set pieces as unflinching as any on Warthrop’s slab—tense, bloody, and impossible to look away from.

If Will Henry’s transformation—learning to face terror beside Warthrop, from graveyard hunts to morgue tables—was your hook in The Monstrumologist, Something Wicked This Way Comes offers a similarly haunting rite of passage. Jim Nightshade and Will Halloway confront a sinister carnival that preys on their fears, forcing them to grow up fast as they grapple with temptation, courage, and the cost of looking evil in the eye.
