With a murderer on the loose, it's up to an enlightened bodysnatcher and a rebellious princess to save the city, in this wonderfully inventive Victorian-tinged fantasy noir.
ALICIA ZALOGA grew up in Virginia Beach not liking the beach, and
now moves every few years, sometimes to places near beaches. She
has a writing degree from Columbia College Chicago, and when she's
not dealing with life's chores, she collects hobbies- plucking the
E string on the bass, producing an alarming number of artistic
doodles, and French beading floral bouquets.
WENDY TRIMBOLI grew up in England, Germany and the United States,
and learned to speak two languages well enough that most people can
understand her. Determined to ignore her preference for liberal
arts, she attended the US Air Force Academy then worked as an
intelligence officer, which was less exciting than it sounds. These
days she has a creative writing MFA from Vermont College of Fine
Arts, and lives in Colorado with her family, border collie, and far
too many books.
"Resurrectionist is tantalisingly real, the prose is
breathlessly witty, and the characters are impossible to avoid
loving"
"Sells itself on a single sentence."
"the strangest literary mushrooms since Alice in
Wonderland."
"as gaudy and vivid as a Hogarth print"
"I loved the characters, the world-building, the tight plot and the
emotional payoff. One of my favorites of the summer!"
"The convincing setting, engaging characters and an artfully
devised plot all combine to give these particular fantasy themes a
vivid freshness."
"The Resurrectionist of Caligo plays with genre in an
intriguing and clever way. There are horror elements mixed with
fantasy, colonial critique, and class commentary, all blended into
a book that is a pleasure to read."
"The novel is artfully written from dual perspectives but with one
fluid style, and will appeal to readers of sf, fantasy, and
historical mystery, or those who just can't choose."
"Wendy Trimboli and Alicia Zaloga build their world with meticulous
care, and the plotting is rich and cunning…a story and characters
to savour, in a world painted in vivid detail."
