“Vivid, twisty, rollicking, sometimes macabre, always entertaining. The Resurrectionist is a memorable exploration of the twin poles of science and desire – and the lengths to which we will go for both.”

Buzz Books presents passionate readers with an insider’s look at nearly fifty of the buzziest boks due out this season.

“The Resurrectionist dug me out of a reading slump and cut cleanly to my heart. A Rae Dunlap is an exquisite new voice in fiction, and this decadently macabre debut deserves to be unearthed and savoured by readers everywhere.”

Mixing a macabre gothic mystery with a sensitive coming-of-age tale and a touching queer romance, Dunlap has written an exciting, well-researched debut historical adventure. Bizarre, authentic details, like the mortsafes, or cages, that grieving families installed to protect the graves of their loved ones, make for an unforgettable read.
