adventurous dark mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
The Resurrectionist is still genius. E.B. Hudspeth: you hit a homerun with this one; it's your magnum opus.

I almost forgot about The Lost Work of Dr. Spencer Black until a few weeks ago, when I noticed I had liked it on Facebook. Right away I bought my own copy, then re-read it as soon as it came.

"You balance a stick on the backs of your hands just along the knuckles while you play.... however, the stick will never fall to the floor, bravo! When I perform, the stick falls, then a symphony flows from me."

Dammit! I had to get up and breathe on that one. Dr. Spencer Black loved himself, and Hudspeth gives him a prose that's both literary and lyrical.

I highly recommend the hardcover. "The Codex Extinct Animalia" within is a collector's item.
