About this listen

Death is only the beginning…

'Breathtaking … A new talent [in] the field of gothic historical literature' NEW YORK JOURNAL OF BOOKS

'Devilishly macabre … As dark as a midnight graveyard' PATRICE McDONOUGH

'Hauntingly gothic, intimately told, and wickedly, wonderfully grotesque' MARIELLE THOMPSON

In this gothic, twisty debut historical novel, a young medical student is lured into the underworld of body snatching in 19th-century Edinburgh … and unexpectedly falls in love.

1828. James Willoughby arrives in Edinburgh with empty pockets a dream of studying surgery. Desperate to scrape together fees for the city’s leading anatomy school, he strikes a deal with Nye MacKinnon, a dashing young dissectionist who shows James a way into this elite academic realm … via the cemetery.

James descends with Nye into the underground ranks of the Resurrectionists – men infamous for stealing fresh corpses and selling them to professors as anatomical specimens. Before he knows it, they are caught up in a life-or-death scheme as rival gangs of snatchers compete in a morbid race for power and prestige. And as James and Nye lock eyes across graves and dissection tables, they soon realise that they yearn to be more than partners in academic crime …

The Resurrectionist is a thrilling tale of queer love, murder, and the grisly origins of modern medicine.

Ehh, it was okay

Was okay. Story had more potential but I feel like it didn't really go anywhere. I enjoyed the history behind it and the facts, but I did find this hard to finish.
The Narrator did a great job.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
