Absolutely beautiful & entirely macabre, Lacour succeeds in their goal of capturing the story/ no story mysterious tension of dioramas and the natural history museum with aplomb. I am left both feeling unsettled & intrigued.
It's a weird one y'all, very NSFW, but worth a flip through for those with a strong stomach for body horror.

Deeply disquieting. At first the images seem amusing and silly but after page upon page of illustrated weirdness, the experience becomes uncomfortable and sometimes horrifying. This pushed some boundaries I wasn't aware I had.

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.
