If you're a fan of the odd or unusual then this book is for you. Featuring over fifty unique and exciting historical cases of human curiosities, this book brings their stories to the present to celebrate the lives of these special people.

Whether it be 'Anatomical Oddities' such as "The Gripping Tale of Grady Styles, The Lobster Boy" - who was born with claws instead of hands or "The Unfortunate Tale of The Hilton Twins" - conjoined twins chained for life.

Or maybe you're more interested in 'Modified Marvels' such as "The enigma that was Horace Ridler, The Great Omi" - who tattooed his entire body from head to toe with zebra stripes, or another body mod extreme, "The Graceful Shape of Ethel Granger, The Wasp Lady" - who used corseting to become the woman with the smallest waist in history.

Or perhaps you are interested in 'Peculiar People' who perform the most bizarre and remarkable sideshow acts such as "The Dangerous Career of Koringa, La Femme Fakir" - who could scale a ladder of swords completely barefoot or "The Hard Hitting Story of Melvin Burkhart, The Human Blockhead" - who could hammer 6 inch steel nails up his nose and into the centre of his skull unharmed.

Some things in life have to be seen to be believed, so along with an image of each incredible individual throughout this book you will also find strategically placed QR (Quick Response) codes which link to unique footage and further information. Most modern smartphones come with the ability to read QR codes. Some tablets, such as the Apple iPad and Kindle Fire, also contain this feature.
