Severance

Wow, check this out:

Sixty-two entries, each in the voice of a beheaded historical, mythical, animal or modern figure, make up the collection. Each is exactly 240 words, Butler's estimate of the number of words that could be spoken by a decapitated head before oxygen runs out.

  1. A very to-the-point book cover.

    Great concept, but I picked this up and paged through it.

    It's not something you can sit down and read. More like a bizzare Uncle John's Bathroom Reader.

    No way I'd pay $15 for this gimmick book.
