Troy Keene, newly hired apprentice editor at the Quiet Museum of Monsters, not only discovers that the museum's name isn't the noise level, but also that the monsters aren't mere relics. His life is upended by the move from his mountain town to the city, where he finds he can trust only fellow editor, Leigh West. Although how far can trust go in a museum of monsters?
Entwined within our mythology, our demonology, are the shadowy Maar, a centuries' living species from far up the evolutionary branch of humans. Led by sage Langorium, genius Tawny, lugubrious Twitch, and impassioned Thrash, they struggle to reconcile the rise of homo sapiens with their own survival.
An exhilarating journey across centuries of horror and philosophy, art and science, the novel shifts the very nature of what it means to be a monster, or to be a person. The first of a planned series, the next two volumes will be set in Tokyo and Cairo.
