Resurrectionists | Michael Patrick Hicks
2 posts | 3 read | 7 to read
Having won his emancipation after fighting on the side of the colonies during the American Revolution, Salem Hawley is a free man. Only a handful of years after the end of British rule, Hawley finds himself drawn into a new war unlike anything he has ever seen.New York City is on the cusp of a new revolution as the science of medicine advances, but procuring bodies for study is still illegal. Bands of resurrectionists are stealing corpses from New York cemeteries, and women of the night are disappearing from the streets, only to meet grisly ends elsewhere.After a friend's family is robbed from their graves, Hawley is compelled to fight back against the wave of exhumations plaguing the Black cemetery. Little does he know, the theft of bodies is key to far darker arts being performed by the resurrectionists. If successful, the work of these occultists could spell the end of the fledgling American Experiment... and the world itself.The Resurrectionists, the first book in the Salem Hawley series, is a novella of historical cosmic horror from the author of Broken Shells and Mass Hysteria.

Grave robbers! Murder! Lovecraftian cosmic horror!
1780s NYC: cadaver dissection is illegal, but essential to medicine. Resurrectionists were hired to steal bodies. Black cemeteries were favored for body snatching. Salem is a free black man that earned his freedom fighting in the war. He's now fighting for families of the deceased. Salem gets entangled with cultist doctors and chaos ensues!
