The Resurrectionist: The Lost Work of Dr. Spencer Black by E.B. Hudspeth

3.0

I thought this was a fun little story to read, but I didn't love it. I feel like there just should have been more of this book. It was split into two halves, one a more historical account of the life and times of Dr. Spencer Black, and the other half was his catalogue of "extinct" animals and illustrations. The first half of the book was captivating; it's always fun to read a story of someone basically going insane. Creepy, but interesting. I wish the whole book, or at least most of it, told a more in-depth story of what happened. I was disappointed that there were so many loose ends at the end. This was a fun little read while at work, to help get me out of my reading slump.
