Series: Ressurectionist
In the first installment of Victoria Dalpe's new dark fantasy series, we meet Selene Shade, a resurrectionist for hire who might just have taken on the wrong case.

With the ability to restore life to the dead, ""Zombie Queen"" Selene Shade has earned quite a reputation. Not that it helps her get dates. Her bed may be empty but business is booming. That is until her life is thrown into disarray when a brutal killer comes to town and all signs point to her being the next victim.

Enlisted by the police department due to her unique craft, she must make new alliances, deal with old rivals, and maybe even save the world-whether she wants to or not-all the while avoiding the gruesome allure of dark magic and the sacrificial ritual of a mad cultist.

In Resurrectionist for Hire, Dalpe weaves a dire tale of magic, murder, and romance. To survive, Selene will have to harness her power of the dead and overcome her struggle to connect with the living.

Reviews for Selene Shade, Resurrectionist for Hire

"Praise for Les Femmes Grotesques “Dalpe’s horror stories are equal parts intriguing, compelling, and appropriately macabre. Les Femmes Grotesques tidily secures Dalpe her position as an author to watch.” —Monica S. Kuebler, Rue Morgue  “Anne Rice for the post-Twilight age.” —Gemma Files, Shirley Jackson and Sunburst Award-winning author of Experimental Film  ""Hungry horror fans take note: like a box of poisoned petit fours, Dalpe's collection delights and sickens with every bite."" —Molly Tanzer, author of Creatures of Will and Temper  ""The sharp, pointedly-observed, disquieting stories in Les Femmes Grotesques live in our modern in-between spaces. After reading them, they'll take root and tendril within your own in-between spaces. There's nothing you can do about it."" —Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Pallbearers Club"
