In the tradition of The Alienist and Anatomy: A Love Story, a decadently macabre, dark and twisty gothic debut set in 19th century Scotland - when real-life serial killers Burke and Hare terrorized the streets of Edinburgh - as a young medical student is lured into the illicit underworld of body snatching. Historical fiction, true crime, and dark academia intertwine in a harrowing tale of murder, greed, and the grisly origins of modern medicine for readers of Lydia Kang, ML Rio, Sarah Perry, and C.E. McGill. "With wit as sharp as a scalpel, and a plot as dark and twisted as the Edinburgh alleys in which it is set, The Resurrectionist is a thrilling debut that will have readers turning pages deep into the night." -Hester Fox, author of The Last Heir to Blackwood Library

Naïve but determined James Willoughby has abandoned his posh, sheltered life at Oxford to pursue a lifelong dream of studying surgery in Edinburgh. A shining beacon of medical discovery in the age of New Enlightenment, the city's university offers everything James desires-except the chance to work on a human cadaver. For that, he needs to join one of the private schools in Surgeon's Square, at a cost he cannot afford. In desperation, he strikes a deal with Aneurin "Nye" MacKinnon, a dashing young dissectionist with an artist's eye for anatomy and a reckless passion for knowledge. Nye promises to help him gain the surgical experience he craves-but it doesn't take long for James to realize he's made a devil's bargain . . . Nye is a body snatcher. And James has unwittingly become his accomplice. Intoxicated by Nye and his noble mission, James rapidly descends into the underground ranks of the Resurrectionists-the body snatchers infamous for stealing fresh corpses from churchyards to be used as anatomical specimens. Before he knows it, James is caught up in a life-or-death scheme as rival gangs of snatchers compete in a morbid race for power and prestige. James and Nye soon find themselves in the crosshairs of a shady pair of unscrupulous opportunists known as Burke and Hare, who are dead set on cornering the market, no matter the cost. These unsavory characters will do anything to beat the competition for bodies. Even if it's cold-blooded murder . . . Exquisitely macabre and delightfully entertaining, The Resurrectionist combines fact and fiction in a rollicking tale of the risks and rewards of scientific pursuit, the passions of its boldest pioneers, and the anatomy of human desire.

Cross my heart and hope to die...
I loved everything about this story. The setting, the characters, the plot. James grew so close to my heart so quickly and his relationship with Aneurin caught butterflies in my chest. Absolutely recommended to anyone who loves the gritty edges of 18th Century Edinburgh, sprinkled with a good hearted queer romance alongside. -

Who knew grave robbing could be so romantic?
I have such a soft spot for historical queer fiction and this book was certainly not an exception. I loved the dark, muddy atmosphere of 19th century Edinburgh and how the characters (ironically) came to life within it. Speaking of, I adored the main character James and his rogue companion Nye. It was refreshing to follow a main character who stands up for himself and the people he loves. There were some romantic moments were I had to pause reading because they were so simple, yet so full of love and desire. If you enjoyed "Anatomy" by Dana Schwarz, do yourself a favour and read this book. -
