Produktbeschreibung
Death has always fascinated humans, perhaps because the fear of not being able to avoid it is as great as the desire to know what comes next. Driven by an innate awareness of one's deadly nature, people have always visited sites impregnated with suffering, pain, violence, and atrocity.
