I shelve a lot of books (I work at a bookstore), and by the time this ended up on the graphic novel shelf, we already put in several more orders so my coworkers and I could buy it for Christmas. My coworker said "I have several questions... but I don't want answers." If you love disturbing art (think Black Hole by Charles Burns), this is the book for you.

Un cómic sin palabras, que simula ser el diario de un resurreccionista, mediante láminas que describen paso a paso extraños procesos de partogénesis y mitosis humana, además de inyecciones, transplantes, injertos imposibles, híbridos, en una mezcla de libro de ciencias y diario de. Dr. Frankenstein. Interesante y perturbador a partes iguales.

Science comic horror art. It’s a series of images, each a gruesome little poem. Great.

Kate Lacour hace magia en este libro. Transforma el cuerpo, lo retuerce con la forma de los sueños, lo vomita sin asco y se traga el vómito para ver si nutre el cuerpo. No sé si body horror es la etiqueta adecuada pero se le acerca bastante. Lo pienso cerca de cosas como el [b:Codex Seraphinianus.

Hilariously grotesque, depraved and sexual, this experimental art depicts the gluttonous, mesmerizing, sad, feeble, repulsive sides of human and nature. Like a car accident or "Piss Christ," it's hard not to look. You will want a shower and some soap and to maybe say a few "Hail Marys" after reading this.

This artwork is extraordinary, morbid, detailed, grotesque, gorgeous, provocative, etc.,I have been picking up this book every couple of days and start my casually flipping through the pages and then end up engrossed in the details and themes. Very very cool stuff.

Basically wordless, without even a pictorial narrative to tie it all together, I felt out of my depth. Some images and sequences were fascinating, some disturbing, but all require the reader to fashion some kind of explanation or story for what you’re seeing.
My favorite illustration was the meat grinder. I felt I could grasp that one, and it was one of the few spreads that seemed to be making sense out of life instead of gently unraveling the threadbare fabric of existence. There were also a few great moments that picked apart menstruation and motherhood.
