Severed: A History of Heads Lost and Heads Found | 
Today‘s #LitsyDressedinBlood prompt:
“Off with their heads!”
I have not read this, but looks fascinating.
(continued)...quick it was impossible to discern.
And this is the back. Isn't it both creepy and funny? (Or is it just me?)
A customer ordered this. I mean... easy, relaxing read before bed, isn't it? I opened it and the first thing l saw was a Victorian lady dusting human skulls displayed on shelves.
Still l kind of think this might be quite an interesting read.
With the recommendations that Goodreads is giving me based on my previous reading material, I'm pretty sure my name is going to end up on a government watch list. If it isn't already there. 😳😬
When my obsession with all things historical and horrific intersect 😍😵.
pickI had to pair this with this yeah yeah yeahs album because of the song head will roll. This was just my kinda thing, slightly odd topic but incredibly interesting. This book managed to make me go through most emotions throughout, at points I found it entertaining and at others I felt a bit queasy . I checked my head was still attached constantly #booksandvinyl #readwomen #libraryloot
This just jumped to the top of my to-read, but our library system never has the good stuff. This is why Bezos has all my money. *cry*
pick**this one's maybe not for the squeamish** Sometimes you want book on history that isn't the same old, same old. Frances Larson
delivers with this look at the history and culture of heads being separated from bodies. Well researched and written with just enough tongue-in-cheek humor. Pun intended!
I'm curious about this one. 💀
pickThis was a surprise; it's not a history of specific heads, but of the reasons why we collect, revere, dissect, ex-and-repatriate, display and otherwise use human heads. Written from a curator's point of view, it's quite fascinating!
