 |  | The Resurrectionists  [13+] Resurrection Man--one who exhumes/steals dead bodies, especially for dissection.  |
| (5.0)  HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews"   First Impressions: I saw this story highlighted in your portfolio and the title caught my eye. A very intriguing title, I have to add, and it is well chosen for the tale. The first paragraph immediately drew me in - the descriptions were exceptional and you made it very easy to imagine the scene. The readers join the two main characters in the act of exhuming a body - for reputable scientific research, or so they believe. The readers are not so easily fooled and begin to suspect that it’s not quite as innocent as they believe (not that digging up a body in the middle of the night is ever likely entirely innocent). The two men, uncle and nephew, and beautifully written, as is the way they speak which seemed very fitting for the time. The nephew’s reservations come across very well, and he is very likeable throughout the story, especially at the end when he doesn’t want the experiment to go ahead.  Suggestions: I usually mention some errors here but I couldn’t actually find any, so I’m going to use this section to point out a line I thought was particularly well done: Rain poured from the folds of their tricorns, snaked down their waistcoats, soaked their breeches, and transformed the hole into a muddy, soupy mess. The image I got from this was like a camera panning down from the sky to the top of the men’s hats, following the rain down their clothes and all the way to the muddy ground. I could almost hear the rain at that point, and I thought that was an amazing way of showing the scene.  Final Thoughts: The story ended too soon for my liking. I wanted to know what happened next! Don’t get me wrong; the ending was perfect, leaving the readers to ponder how the tale would continue, but I hadn’t realised how close to the end I was as I was reading and I wanted it to continue. Overall, a really good story, and I’m glad I came across it today!   My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
