What if lactating snakes gestated inside fetuses? What if factory-farmed pigs were bred as giant, insentient cubes? What if the human spine generated methamphetamine capsules? These single page sequential images illustrate these and many other marvelous, hideous, enigmatic physiological mysteries. Each comics sequence is stitched together (pun intended) by a narrative thread that forms a strange and mesmerizing voyage through the body.

Reviews for Vivisectionary (GN)

A delightfully disgusting compendium of the grotesque. Lacour's work engenders horror of the deepest sort, and it lingers in the mind for hours.-- Publishers Weekly A new perspective on the bodily structures we take for granted.-- Hi Fructose A striking series of images of body horror and other biological nightmares. You'll be horrified yet curiously turning the pages to see more.-- Kirkus Reviews Gorgeous, grotesque, and wonderful.-- BoingBoing Vivisectionary is horrible--and that's a compliment. If you're comfortable with discomfort, and you like your graphic novels to experiment with the DNA of the comics form, then Kate Lacour is your deranged doctor.-- PopMatters
