The Resurrectionist: The Lost Work of Dr. Spencer Black Hudspeth, E. B.
192 pgs, hardcover. AWESOME and INCREDIBLE
. This book is a welcome addition to any library of dark fantasy, with its beautiful portraiture and gripping description of a mans descent into perversity. The Resurrectionist offers two extraordinary books in one. The first part is a fictional biography of Dr. Spencer Black, from his childhood spent exhuming corpses through his medical training, his travels with carnivals, his cruel and crazed experiments, and, finally, his mysterious disappearance.
The second part is a dark magnum opus: The Codex Extinct Animalia, a Grays Anatomy for mythological beasts, all rendered in meticulously detailed anatomical illustrations.
Disturbingly lovely . . . The Resurrectionist is itself a cabinet of curiosities, stitching history and mythology and sideshow into an altogether different creature. Deliciously macabre and beautifully grotesque.
