Edinburgh, 1828. Knowledge is advancing. The dead are moving.
As anatomy schools expand and lectures continue late into the night, the city’s churchyards grow uneasy. Graves are guarded. Coffins are weighted. Ledgers are kept. Somewhere between burial ground and lecture room, a quiet trade flourishes—one rarely spoken of, and rarely questioned.
The Resurrection Collection is an immersive, document-led creative writing experience inspired by real historical practices surrounding body snatching, anatomy, and institutional silence. Through fragmented records, seized papers, personal writings, advertisements, paintings, and modern historical commentary, you are invited to reconstruct a story history never fully resolved.
There is no single narrative. No confirmed truth. Only evidence.
What’s Inside the Download?
◆ 50+ printable documents, including letters, diaries, ledgers, adverts, archive records, textbook extracts, silhouettes, and paintings
◆ A document-based structure designed for inference, interpretation, and storytelling

Who Is It For?
Ideal for writers, teachers, students, and anyone interested in historical mystery, gothic realism, or ethical storytelling. Use it to inspire short fiction, extended narratives, investigative writing, or cross-curricular work linking history and literature.
Whether you approach it creatively or analytically, this collection rewards close reading and careful thought.
What Makes This Different?
This isn’t a single prompt or a guided storyline. It’s a curated archive. The documents don’t agree. Some voices are missing. Others speak too clearly. The truth depends on what you trust, what you question, and what you choose to ignore.
Every reader uncovers a different story. Every version says something different about responsibility, progress, and silence.
