THE RESURRECTIONIST - E B HUDSPETH GEBUNDEN

An extraordinary biography. A gallery of astonishing work. The legacy of a madman. 
Philadelphia  the late 1870s. A city of gas lamps  cobblestone streets  and horse-drawn
carriages-and home to the controversial surgeon Dr. Spencer Black. The son of a grave robber 
young Dr. Black studies at Philadelphia's esteemed Academy of Medicine  where he develops an
unconventional hypothesis: What if the world's most celebrated mythological beasts-mermaids 
minotaurs  and satyrs-were in fact the evolutionary ancestors of humankind?     The
Resurrectionist offers two extraordinary books in one. The first is a fictional biography of
Dr. Spencer Black  from a childhood spent exhuming corpses through his medical training  his
travels with carnivals  and the mysterious disappearance at the end of his life. The second
book is Black's magnum opus: The Codex Extinct Animalia  a Gray's Anatomy for mythological
beasts-dragons  centaurs  Pegasus  Cerberus-all rendered in meticulously detailed anatomical
illustrations. You need only look at these images to realize they are the work of a madman. The
Resurrectionist tells his story.
