About This Item
In very good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.
Revelling in revolting facts,positively dripping with deadly deeds, first there was A Macabre Miscellany, now, with a further dose of spine chilling, stomach turning grotesquery, there is More Macabre Miscellany.
A foul mix of modern murder and ancient atrocity, More Macabre Miscellany is the blood and guts of world history spattered with the most monstrous of contemporary carnage.
Just For Tasters
• In 2003, a Bangladeshi woman was killed and swallowed headfirst up to her waist by a 10ft python as she collected fruit.
• St Valentine is regarded as the patron saint of lovers; he is also the patron saint of people suffering from other, even more devastating afflictions: those of epilepsy and the plague.
• Romanian Prince Vlad the Impaler (1431-1476) not only cannibalised the flesh of his enemies, but rather than waste the blood he spread it on bread and ate it.
Geoffrey Abbot is an expert on all things macabre, having been a Beefeater at the Tower of London for many years, and is the author of several books on torture and execution.
