THE RESURRECTIONIST

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 Blacks magnum opus: The Codex Extinct Animalia, a Grays Anatomy for mythological beasts, all rendered in meticulously detailed anatomical illustrations.
