Abstract
A Monstrous Force follows Elson Owlsley, an unskilled worker, as he joins the newly
formed London Metropolitan Police in hopes of providing a better life for his wife and
unborn child. While he initially plans to keep his head down and follow orders, a string of
attacks on lower class individuals arouses his suspicion, particularly after his superiors ignore
a murder, insisting that the victim was probably a criminal who deserved what he got. When
Elson begins his investigation into the deaths, he soon discovers that the murderer is more
than a human serial killer; it can’t be considered human. This work of historical fantasy
illustrates how monster theory can be applied to historical and modern issues.
