The Monster of Elendhaven is a compact, vicious novella that takes the gothic tradition and twists it into something modern and queer. The city of Elendhaven is dying — poisoned, cursed, and falling apart — and its two main characters are perfectly suited to such a place: one a thing that cannot die, the other a man who wants others to.
Giesbrecht’s prose is rich and controlled, and the novella’s short length works in its favor, delivering its dark pleasures without overstaying its welcome.
