Repellent and fascinating at the same time, the terrible tortures
of Christian martyrs evidence a sort of evil creativity and gleeful
bloodlust on the part of their tormentors. This book, originally
published in 1989 in a limited edition, captures the gruesomeness
of torture and provides an intellectual examination of it - with an
awareness of the visceral thrill that such images provide. It
includes a reproduction of the 1591 book of the same title, with
engravings and descriptions of Christian tortures; segments from
The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (1824),
by an Augustinian nun (which helped inspire Mel Gibson's film
Passion); the article "On the Physical Death of Jesus," by William
D. Edwards, describing the forensic realities of the crucifixion
(which also impacted the film); and 24 illustrations by a variety
of well-known artists, performers, and infamous criminals including
Daniel Clowes, Joe Coleman, Raymond Pettibon, and Kaz.
