"A is for Arsenic is a guide to the basics of Victorian mourning with 'death-initions,' and stories resurrected from 19th-century newspapers, brought back to life through the evocative art of Landis Blair. Each entry includes a pen and ink illustration along with 19th century anecdotes ranging from macabre stories to jokes from the Victorian press. (Plus sinister little poems in homage to Edward Gorey.) 'A is For Arsenic' cover topics including post-mortem photography, embalming, bodysnatching tips, what to wear when in mourning, and how long to mourn for someone who has left you money in their will. The book also debunks several Victorian mourning myths. There are 26 alphabetical entries -- from Arsenic to Zinc, along with an informative glossary, appendix, and detailed bibliography."
