About this listen

Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a 14th story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer.

It turns out that monsters are real. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows. Officially secret, some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. On the other side are the people who kill monsters for a living. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit.

It's actually a pretty sweet gig, except for one little problem. An ancient entity known as the Cursed One has returned to settle a centuries-old vendetta. Should the Cursed One succeed, it means the end of the world, and MHI is the only thing standing in his way.

With the clock ticking towards Armageddon, Owen finds himself trapped between legions of undead minions, belligerent federal agents, a cryptic ghost who has taken up residence inside his head, and the cursed family of the woman he loves. Business is good.... Welcome to Monster Hunter International.

Editor reviews

Why we think it's Essential - Quick, who directed The Evil Dead? What action hero starred in The Blob? Which movie studio became synonymous with horror for producing Frankenstein and The Wolf Man? If you can answer these questions correctly, you'll likely be thrilled with Monster Hunter International. B-movie aficionados know there's a fine line between gleefully gory camp and flat-out dross. Not to worry, Monster Hunter International knows the line. Oliver Wyman brings just the right amount of bombastic, smirking swagger to this story of big guns, big action, and a heck of a lot of monsters. —Michael

Like a popcorn no brainer action movie.
Needed a lot less gun porn and more character depth.

I only downloaded this because I really enjoyed Correa's work in the forgotten warrior series. The title and the front cover made me have some reservations... They make the book look like some trashy B-novel, which it kind of is, but it knows it and runs with it. The book doesn't take itself seriously but the writing is strong enough, with a good enough story to keep you engaged. In fact, as the story and characters develop, you realise that Correa has done a damn good job of fleshing out a standard action romp. His description of the fight scenes is probably the best I have ever read and he makes the characters likeable and funny enough to engage with.

The writers obsession with guns gets a bit tiresome and his blatant right wing political views are waaaaaaayyyyy too much in your face... but there is enough entertainment and story to carry you over that.

An action filled romp that knows what it is.

I really enjoyed this story and will definitely get the rest of the series. However, in places, it felt really dragged out and some of the chapters were really long. It was tough going at times, but I still enjoyed it. Great narration too.

Great story

I'm starting this by not talking about the book, but about my reaction to it - I got this as it was suggested from other books I had seen, so thought I'd pick it up and give it a try... BOY was I surprised!
It's one of those books that I had to talk about it to friends, and not only has a friend at work picked up the series, but his mother has now read the entire series - it's one of those infectious series that as soon as you start, you can't stop going through them

The book itself is funny, smart, has good pace & is well written, but the narration suits the style amazingly well, the characterisation is superbly done, with accent switching being seamless and pacing of the reading fitting the action brilliantly

As with all narrators, each has their own odd pronunciation, and Oliver Wyman is no exception, something that rather than distracting, it made me smile because of the bad grammar of the word use - the book talks about someone being close to crying, so they "tear up", but instead of it being pronounced as "teer", it's pronounced "tare", as in as though something is torn

Overall though, this book is a high recommendation from me, if you like the type of fantasy books set in the current era, this series is great, going over government cover-ups, the company, old gods and much more - once I had this book I HAD to start on the others

Listen, enjoy & smile

The idea behind the story of this book I found solid. Just bad dialogue overall spoilt it a bit. But a good thing is how the story draws upon classic horror literature such as hp love craft , shelly and bramstocker. its just a shame that the execution was not a little more poe. But overall good.

Not bad but corny.

If you enjoy books about adrenaline fuelled, high action, monsters and guns (lots of guns!!) then you have come to the numero uno in that category. There is not much else to say except strap in and load your silver bullets!

Amazing book!

This story was OK but seemed a little obvious at times. there weren't any clever plot twists or devices that make the listener sit up and take note.

performance was good but a lot of characters sounded the same.

all in all 6 out of 10 - worth it if you like the monster genre but not the best introduction

OK story but lacked finesse

This is pure B-movie shlock, and thats not a bad thing. This really is Buffy the Vampire Slayer if it was made by Michael Bay with funding from the Tea Party and the NRA. If that sounds like your idea of a living nightmare this isn't for you but if just laughed or if your hart just skipped a beat you might just get a kick out of it.
Well read and although it is long it doesn't feel long because there's an action scene and a fire fight in every chapter. It's not a classic or even that deep but if you can get into the right head space you can have some fun with it.

Michael Bay dose Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
