Famous tales of monstrosity, ranging from Beowulf to Frankenstein, infuse this account of Edgar Brim's search to understand the terrors that have haunted him since childhood. His quest extends from the Scottish moor to a Victorian theater as he hunts the mysterious threat. A rambling pace and frequent shifts between past and present tense undermine an otherwise powerful, evocative novel.
