Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

When Sybil meets a sudden ugly death, her granddaughter awakes from a nightmare on the other side of the world--Kim Wilkins' The Resurrectionistis full of coincidences that turn out to be nothing of the sort, of which this is only the first. Maisie has drifted into a career in music for which she feels no especial love; going to England to sort out her grandmother's effects is a way to get away from the cello and musician parents who cannot understand her lack of commitment to what they love. The village of Solgreve has more than its share of secrets--Maisie finds herself loathed just for being there, just for being who she is. And because of who she is, because of how she is treated, she starts asking questions and soon finds some surprising answers--but with surprising ways of getting them. This is a powerful thriller about a young woman coming into psychic power and finding out that her situation and the threats which surround her are much worse than she could ever have dreamed or imagined. Consistently inventive and emotionally draining, this, even more than Wilkins' earlier Grimoire and The Infernal, establishes her as a name to watch in the dark-fantastic. --Roz Kaveney

Book Description

The Resurrectionists is a beautifully written descent into hellish nightmares that will burn itself into your memory and eat into your soul.

Recipe for success:

Take a moody girl who doesn't know what she wants from life, place her in a Wicker-man style village full of creepy characters, add lashings of Gothic imagery, sexy throbbings of romance, a large helping of terror (oh, and a gorgeous gypsy boy to die for)and leave to boil furiously for 40 chapters.

Of course, to make this mixture rise, you have to be Kim Wilkins. You have to make the reader beg for more. Well, this reader was begging and couldn't go to sleep until she had devoured it. In fact, it turned out I couldn't sleep after I'd finished it anyway - the images and characters will stay with you forever. All hail Queen Kim for scaring us to death and making us love every nerve-shattering moment...

Another great book... 2 April 2004
Format:Paperback
This is the second Kim Wilkins book I have read (the other being Grimoire) and I have to say that she is rapidly becoming a favourite. Until now my experience of female horror authors was limited to Poppy Z Brite, and I stumbled across Wilkins by accident (always the best way).
This book easily outdoes Grimoire (not an easy task in itself). The location is a haunting one before you even get to the story; a small isolated Yorkshire village with a vast cliff top cemetery. Gives me the creeps just thinking about it. Add in Wilkins's wonderful characterisations... Maisie, the naive Australian searching for the answer to her Grandmother's death; Sacha, the mysterious gypsy; Cathy, the annoying 'friend'... the list goes on. Wilkins has a wonderful way of allowing you to feel what the characters are feeling, share their doubts and insecurities and generally understand what they are going through. I think this is one of the great strengths of a female writer.
This book is fantastic, buy it now. I am off to read 'The Infernal' and 'Fallen Angel', and I advise every horror fan to do the same!
