Download or read book Rotters written by Daniel Kraus and published by Ember. This book was released on 2012-04-10 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grave-robbing. What kind of monster would do such a thing? It's true that Leonardo da Vinci did it, Shakespeare wrote about it, and the resurrection men of nineteenth-century Scotland practically made it an art. But none of this matters to Joey Crouch, a sixteen-year-old straight-A student living in Chicago with his single mom. For the most part, Joey's life is about playing the trumpet and avoiding the daily humiliations of high school. Everything changes when Joey's mother dies in a tragic accident and he is sent to rural Iowa to live with the father he has never known, a strange, solitary man with unimaginable secrets. At first, Joey's father wants nothing to do with him, but once father and son come to terms with each other, Joey's life takes a turn both macabre and exhilarating. Daniel Kraus's masterful plotting and unforgettable characters make Rotters a moving, terrifying, and unconventional epic about fathers and sons, complex family ties, taboos, and the ever-present specter of mortality.
Book Synopsis Body Snatching by : Suzanne M. Shultz
Download or read book Body Snatching written by Suzanne M. Shultz and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2005-02-24 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Also called "resurrectionists," body snatchers, were careful not to take anything from the grave but the body--stealing only the corpse was not considered a felony since the courts had already said that a dead body had no owner. ("Burking"--i.e., murder--was the alternative method of supplying "stiffs" to medical schools; it is covered here as well). This book recounts the practice of grave robbing for the medical education of American medical students and physicians during the late 1700s and 1800s in the US, why body snatching came about and how disinterment was done, and presents information on: efforts to prevent the practice, a group of professional grave robbers, and the European experience.
Download or read book Grave Robbers written by Drac Von Stoller and published by Drac Von Stoller. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was 1862 and the town of Sickville had many Gold Mines that thrived in an overabundance of wealth until greed took over and friends and neighbors became enemies. There was always someone standing guard by their mines, but there were too many people not in on the cut. So, that's when things got ugly and people that used to be friends started dying just to get their hands on the gold. The sound of gunfire could be heard daily, but many of the greedy townspeople who were killed to get in on a piece of the action had no mining skills so the town of Sickville went belly up in just a year. The only place where business was thriving was the cemetery. A town that had a population of a thousand was now in the hundreds. Many of the survivors that survived the bloodshed left town out of fear of not knowing when their day was up to be buried in the cemetery that was quickly running out of space for their dead. Finally, the fifty people left standing afraid, hungry and broke decided there was nothing left in the town of Sickville to warrant their stay. So, the people got all their valuables and got on their horses in search of a town to call their new home. After a few months, the town of Sickville was nothing, but a ghost town with tumbleweeds rolling around. All the life that this town once had was sucked out of it through a precious metal that only caused death and destruction.
