Resurrection Man

My favorite independent horror author, Franklin E. Wales, has just released a new novella titled Resurrection Man, available in paperback as well as digital. All bias aside, this one will, most-likely, get my vote for "Best Novella of the Year".

It is a story told in first-person (from a Pathologist's point-of-view) with a hard-boiled detective feel to it. Due to its size (under 120 pages) I do not want to give anything else away, though I will tell you that I absolutely love the Epilogue to this story! (It would make for a killer Pilot/TV series!)

Here is the book's synopsis:

"For two hundred years, pastors of unknown origins have set up tent revivals on the outskirts of small towns, preaching their messages of salvation and healing. Are they really seeking to save your soul? Are they hustlers who just want your money? Or, is it something even more sinister? Although he’d attended many such revivals as a child, city morgue pathologist Cornelius never gave it much thought… until the dead woman on his table spoke to him."

5/5 Skulls

P. S. If you are unfamiliar with Wales' work, he is a master story teller! I have read every single one of his books, and NONE disappoint!
