Opis: The business of death can be seriously absurd, and nothing illustrates this better than these gruesome true tales. This gory compendium details the frankly ridiculous ways in which a number of ill-fated unfortunates met (or failed to meet) their maker at the hands of lamentably inept executioners. With black and white illustrations, this book brings together a mixture of bungled executions, strange last requests and classic one-liners from medieval times to the present day.

Opis: In his own darkly humorous style, Geoffrey Abbott describes such hair-raising categories as death by cannibalism, being sewn into an animal’s belly and a thousand cuts, and reveals the macabre origins of familiar phrases such as ‘gone west’ or ‘drawn a blank’ as well as the jargon of the underworld.
