Okay, now that Don Joly's Monster Hunter is out there, I've got to get cracking. How's this for the blurb of The Monster Belt? Jessica Winter lives smack bang in the middle of The Monster Belt, an area between two latitudes where the majority of mythical creatures in the Northern Hemisphere are found. Harris White has seen a monster that escaped The Belt and he's looking to find it again and claim retribution for killing his best friend in the aquamarine water of the Mediterranean. They meet at the annual Crypto Zoology Convention in Hawksmoor, they search for Harris' sea creature from Finland to Formentera and every crevice in Jess's head in between and end up back where the hung first began. The problem is, monsters live closer to home that we think and they take on surprisingly mundane forms. And proof? Everyone knows proof is almost impossible to find.
