Human hearts and other oddities Melanie Quinlan

What does it mean to be human in these dark days of the 21st century? What does it mean to have a heart? 'Human Hearts and other oddities' sets out to explore those questions through beautifully strange and haunting illustrations and words inspired by them: from limericks to odes, to free verse and much else, we venture through a land of eternal night were the beating hearts are dripping blood, necromancers disturb the eternal peace of the newly dead and a Goblin King is sorely missed. While the questions at the heart of this book are now as important and serious as ever, the authors try to laugh in the face of adversity and find some humour in a world gone mad.
