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.
