What better way to learn about historical methods of torture than through laughable cartoons?

For fans of Go the Fck to Sleep and The Gashlycrumb Tinies, T is for Torture is a parody ABC book for those with a darker sense of humor. Profane and satirical, Author Marie Lestrange pairs offensively hilarious rhymes with horrifying, yet endearing, illustrations as she teaches you about medieval torture methods from A to Z.

Please Note: This book is for entertainment purposes only- it is not an instruction manual.

T is for Torture is the perfect read for your friends that love Horror, True Crime, and History, and a hysterical gag gift for those that don't!

The Little Lestrange book series is written for adults, and possibly teens- with the exception of those with dubious intent.

PERFECT FOR:

Wednesday Addams

Horror fans

True Crime fanatics

Goths (especially Goth Baby)

With each page, this absurd and twisted take on the ABCs invites conversation about the history of crime, torture, and differing societal standards regarding corporal punishment. Again, while visually deceptive as a children's picture book, this work is strictly for a mature audience due to the explicit (yet hilarious) content.

S is for Serial Killers

C is for Cannibalism

A is for Asylum

"Dr. Marie Lestrange is an artist, musician, and author with a particular interest in historical Horror. As the author of T IS FOR TORTURE, the first of the Little Lestrange series, she has created a unique and chilling parody of classic ABC ""children's"" books that are certainly not for children. In addition to writing, Dr. Lestrange co hosts and produces the Moths to the Flame podcast, drawing inspiration from her research into the macabre, true crime, and occult practices. She and her writer husband love traveling with their little Hobbit outside of the East Tennessee mountains they call home. She can be found @lestrangebooks on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, @lestrange_and_unusual on TikTok, and at marielestrange.comhttps: //linktr.ee/lestrangebooks"
