Editorial reviews

Why we think it's Essential - Quick, who directed The Evil Dead? What action hero starred in The Blob? Which movie studio became synonymous with horror for producing Frankenstein and The Wolf Man? If you can answer these questions correctly, you'll likely be thrilled with Monster Hunter International. B-movie aficionados know there's a fine line between gleefully gory camp and flat-out dross. Not to worry, Monster Hunter International knows the line. Oliver Wyman brings just the right amount of bombastic, smirking swagger to this story of big guns, big action, and a heck of a lot of monsters. —Michael

Publisher's summary

Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a 14th story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer.

It turns out that monsters are real. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows. Officially secret, some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. On the other side are the people who kill monsters for a living. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit.

It's actually a pretty sweet gig, except for one little problem. An ancient entity known as the Cursed One has returned to settle a centuries-old vendetta. Should the Cursed One succeed, it means the end of the world, and MHI is the only thing standing in his way.

With the clock ticking towards Armageddon, Owen finds himself trapped between legions of undead minions, belligerent federal agents, a cryptic ghost who has taken up residence inside his head, and the cursed family of the woman he loves. Business is good.... Welcome to Monster Hunter International.

Fun read

This book was your typical monster hunter tale. There were a few twists that i truly enjoyed, and it was fun to listen to, but it wasn't spectacular. I'll listen to more in this series as I have credits, and I'll bet they get better. The only issue I had was that this is obviously written to start a series. Most books that start a series could easily be left independent, but there are too many loose ends for that here.

Loads of fun

Correia is the rare fantasy author who does humor well in addition to pulse pounding stories. If you like your horror with comedy, this is for you.

A fun book and has a lot of good detail during the action. the only downside is sometimes it seems a bit long.

Dark Humor

I had read this book about 2 years ago. I thought then how funny it was. especially in the depicting of fairies, ogers, wargs, elves, and other magical and mythical creatures.
Federal Government Bureaucratic overreach and the like.
a good story and very good narration of same.

Surprisingly good

A good mixture of horror and comedy. Mr. Wyman portrayed every character with distinction. No two characters sounded the same.

Fantasy goes tactical!

Apparently even vampires and magical beasts require not stakes and other specific techniques but thousands of rounds of modern artillery, with each gun and grenade described in loving detail. Diverting, but not seeing much to draw me into the whole series. (Don’t get me started on the adolescent handling of human relations!)

Top notch book.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to get the other books in the series. The narrator is superb in the way he makes it all so believable.
