"Admirers of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein will find much to appreciate in Kathleen S. Allen's The Resurrectionist. The dogged determination of its troubled protagonist keeps the pages turning, and the epigraphs that open each chapter keep the theme at the fore of the reader's mind. A twisted sister story about death, ambition and humanity's limits--I thoroughly enjoyed it!" --Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Anna Dressed in Blood

"The kind of unputdownable tale where the monsters aren't nearly the most frightening part, The Resurrectionist will haunt you long after you're compelled to reach the inevitable end. Perfect for anyone seeking thrills, chills, and a vivid trip through time back to the misty streets of Victorian London." --Sarah Glenn Marsh, author of The Girls Are Never Gone

"A Frankenstein retelling with a feminist twist, this debut marks a bold new voice in Gothic fiction." --Gwen C. Katz, author of Among the Red Stars

"A monstrous work of art. Captivating, poetic, and alluring, The Resurrectionist is as dark and unsettling as spilled blood. This addictive story made the gruesome come alive." --K. A. Reynolds, author of Izzy at the End of the World

"Dilly's [narration] . . . driv[es] Allen's layered plot while conferring emotional complexity and societal context." --Publishers Weekly

"This dark and atmospheric novel is sure to leave readers unsettled and eager to keep turning the pages. A twisty, haunting debut." --Kirkus Reviews

"Too compelling . . . not to finish." --Booklist
