Erik Ruhling assembles an unmatched
array of torture tools invented exclusively for the infliction of
pain and the ending of life, each carefully researched with an
accompanying full-color, highly detailed rendering. This beautifully
presented book features classics like the Iron Maiden and the
Guillotine, as well as more rarified connoisseur's fare such as the
Scavenger's Daughter and the Ear Chopper. And if the Tongue Tearer
is not to your taste, there's always the Breast Ripper or the
Drunkard's Cloak.
Erik Ruhling is a graphic designer and the curator of

and lives in Atlanta, Georgia, in a house without a dungeon
(unfortunately).
