"[Narrator Daniel Henning] fully commits to this tale, providing a nearly breathless and deliciously evil-sounding narration while also developing unique voices and presenting surprisingly layered characters." (AudioFile Magazine)
"A black tide of perversity, violence, and lush writing. I loved it." (Joe Hill)
Debut 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.
The city of Elendhaven sulks on the edge of the ocean. Wracked by plague, abandoned by the South, stripped of industry and left to die. But not everything dies so easily. 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. A monster who cannot die. 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.
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.

Wow!

I was slightly thrown off by the modern-sounding speech of only one character, which must be lower class banter contrasting the more refined, high class talk of the others, which better matches the setting. I imagine it must be historically correct, but it sounds to me like speech from two different times in the same place. Great job on making villains more human and even likeable.
Astounding changes in pitch and tone in the performance to bring different characters to life.
When There Are No Good Guys

I found this book very compelling, although I do admit reluctantly that after all the anticipation and foreshadowing in the beginning, I expected more to happen in the climax of the novel concerning Florian's plan, the fate of Elendhaven, and the relationship between the main characters.
It might be because it's a novella and isn't as long as a full-length novel, but I felt like I rushed to the end too soon and like I was still waiting for more of a conclusion. Overall, even if the ending was a bit of a disappointment, I can definitely say I had fun reading this story and will probably buy a physical copy to reread over again in the fall!
A queer quick read that's a horrifically good time

Not a Horror Book

It's written much in that style and it's been a while since I read such a flowery book. But it fit, especially given one of its main characters was a fluffy dandy. The story really is about a pair of villains; any other book would have these as the nefarious antagonists, as what they are doing is quite monstrous and wicked. Yet it works.
What really pushed me through was the sexual tension between the main characters, the hints that kept building. But then the story pulled me past.
