Rick Yancey doesn’t miss a beat in The Curse of the Wendigo, follow-up to The Monstrumologist. In this book, we start with Pellinore Warthrop being called on by an old lady friend from the past.

‘I ate his liver with some fava beans’ on Slice of Cherry by Dia Reeves
February 1, 2011
When I think serial killer, the first thing that comes to mind is often Hannibal Lector. Hence the awesome quote.
