Awards/获奖情况：Who Gives Massages to Dead People?’ is a thoroughly distasteful and utterly compelling book of facts for people who love gross, putrid and stomach-churning information. This disgusting book contains six chapters, dealing with the most world’s most unpleasant creatures, diseases, physical deformities, hideous tortures, and every other type of horrifying, nauseating fact imaginable.
Questions posed in the book address revolting matters such as: What is maggot cheese? How did anal hair help to lead to the conviction of the Great Train Robbers? What was the job of a ‘Fart Catcher’? And where in the world can you find a speciality penis restaurant?’
The book is chock full of disgusting and sickening facts. For example, did you know that one pound of peanut butter can contain up to 150 insect parts, and five rodent hairs? Are you aware of the many uses for human cadavers, or the longest recorded distance for projectile vomiting? The book will cover a huge range of horrible subjects, which most books have the good sense to avoid, including Aztec sacrifices, bizarre medical treatments, body snatchers, cannibalism, and eye-wateringly unpleasant execution methods. Those readers brave or foolhardy enough to persevere will learn of lizards that squirt blood out of their eyes, and fart-loving cockroaches who like to eat our hair and nails while we sleep! Through the gaps of their fingers, our intrepid seekers of knowledge will learn every unspeakable, unsavoury detail about their own bodies, and the myriad creep-crawlies that reside therein!
