A stunningly original, superbly written, riotously funny compendium of thinking person's humour.
Long out of print, but rarely out of use, Dr Thackery T. Lambshead's legendary guide to exotic illnesses and afflictions has been essential reading for students of the bizarre and unusual in medicine for years. Now everyone can wonder at conditions like Ballistic Organ Syndrome, Jumping Monkwormand Diseasemaker's Croup, and rejoice that they don't suffer from any of them.
Marvellously entertaining dip-in spoof guide to exotic fictional illnesses and afflictions, with over eighty entries contributed by fifty-eight writers, including the editors themselves and Steve Aylett, Neil Gaiman, David Langford, China Miéville, Michael Moorcock and Brian Stableford.
It is illustrated throughout with curious and humorously unenlightening sketches.
"An amazing book – sure to delight the discerning (and slightly warped) reader" (Publishers' Weekly)
