Bloody Mary

Synopsis:
Her name was Mary--Bloody Mary. Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I, Katharine of Aragon and thousands of Whores, Princes, Monks, Jews, Heretics, Doctors, and even his Holiness in Rome gather in a dizzying blend of epic history and genuine smut, the likes of which hasn't been seen since Bob Guccione's Caligula. Except funnier, and with slightly less live sex.

Nosemaker's Apprentice: Chronicles of a Medieval Plastic Surgeon

Nosemaker's Apprentice: Chronicles of a Medieval Plastic Surgeon
A father weaves a magic tale for his daughter to justify his unlicensed plastic surgery practice, tracing the origins of cosmetic surgery to craftsman in medieval Europe. the hero of this tale is Gavin, a young orphan rescued from a dismal existence in the Ivanhoe Workhouse for Criminally Impoverished Boys when he is apprenticed with the local Nosemaker, and who eventually becomes one of the finest surgeons in Vienna, cradle of quack medicine. Using innovative skin grafting techniques and cutting edge alchemy, Gavin and his master seek only to do the Work of the Almighty by restoring small appendages lost to rat bites, dueling, and syphilis. But when they are unable to help a powerful and mutilated knight recently returned from the crUSAdes, they find their feet over the fire. . .literally. Hilarious, subversive, quasi-historical, and thoroughly debauched. . . a fated collaboration between two innovative (and troubling) writers.
