Macabra is a new badge of DarkSide® Books ready to dissect even more scary and transgressive stories of reality and fiction. Although superstitions and folk traditions have influenced Medicine for so long, the past also reveals the existence of doctors able to find solutions and apply fine treatments. Medicine has changed dramatically, undergone a transformation that made her art a science. While researching to write his first book, writer Thomas Morris made a somewhat curious discovery: between dissertations full of technical language and defiantly long texts, playful and grotesque pearls about bizarre cases were hidden. Many of these reports were too good to be forgotten in medical literature, and he decided to make an irresistibly peculiar selection. From the 17th century Netherlands to tsarist Russia, from rural Canada to a whaler in the Pacific, Medicine Macabra is a gathering of unusual cases in the history of Medicine that took place over a period of three hundred years. Some of these reports are distressing or touching, others are macabre but all offer something more than a good joke. As embarrassing as ailments, strange as treatments, all of these cases express something about the beliefs and wisdom of a time. A whole family suffering from pain and decided to amputate their legs to end the suffering. A patient with hysterical attacks who recited Goethe and Shakespeare. What was the last time one of your teeth exploded? What about when you ate a fresh lettuce and two days later slugs came out through your mouth? Medicine Macabra features true case reports written by doctors who reported what they saw and done, obtained from books, pamphlets, letters and tickets. Irremediable remedies, extraordinary cures, surgeries that had everything to go wrong, unsolid affairs, and unfortunate embarrasses: everything is here. Medicine Macabra is custom made for the strong-stomach darksiders, narrated with that injection of humor that couldn't be missing. Are you ready to dissect these eccentricities from the past?
