Title: Macabre
Product review: Be forewarned: This book, while perhaps intellectually interesting for the right (horror-loving) audience, is extremely macabre. It would better be called, "Toads are from Hell." It is not a book for the unsuspecting reader who is a nature- or amphibian-lover or a person interested in the depiction of animals in art and literature. Most of the artwork and writings presented here focus on the association of toads with disease and moral corruption --- think grotesque images from Bosch. If you are drawn to that which others find bizarre perhaps you will enjoy this admittedly unusual volume.
