by Larry Correia
2023

Saints
by Larry Correia

Sinners
by Larry Correia
2016
Chad Gardenier is sent to reinforce MHI’s Hoodoo Squad in monster-choked New Orleans. Between loup-garou packs, necromancers, and swamp-born horrors, his job is to keep the Big Easy from becoming Hell on Earth, one chaotic hunt at a time.
Grunge
by Larry Correia
2016
In the 1980s, Marine Chad Gardenier gets a second chance at life and a divine mission, joining Monster Hunter International’s Seattle team. His memoirs chronicle bar fights, monster outbreaks, and one man’s very personal war against the darkness.
Series background & context
Monster Hunter Memoirs (John Ringo) focuses specifically on the memoir-style spin-offs Ringo wrote in collaboration with Larry Correia. These novels hand the microphone to past generations of Monster Hunter International operatives and let them unload.
Oliver Chadwick Gardenier’s trilogy—Grunge, Sinners, and Saints—covers his years in the 1980s, first in Seattle and then in New Orleans with the Hoodoo Squad. Chad is reckless, devout, and frequently hilarious, and his stories peel back layers of MHI history, from office politics to the cosmic threats lurking behind routine contracts.
Later entries such as Fever bring in new narrators with very different backgrounds, showing how the monster-hunting business looks from other cultural and magical angles. Each book deepens the sense that MHI is not just one crew in Alabama but a network of franchises, rivals, and allies spread across decades and continents.
For readers of the main Monster Hunter series, these memoirs answer questions the core books only hint at: how certain legendary hunters earned their reputations, why specific policies exist, and what kinds of disasters never made it into the official files. For Ringo fans, they showcase his love of brash, wounded characters trying to turn chaos into a story they can live with.
This section keeps the co-written Memoirs titles together, points out where they fit in the timeline, and suggests whether to read them alongside the main MHI books or as a separate binge.
