Count Sisyphus was once a figure of gothic terror-cape billowing with menace, fangs gleaming in moonlight, striking fear into the hearts of mortals across the centuries.That was then.Now he's a walking medical encyclopedia of ailments, indignities, and embarrassments. From Ailment to Zero, this darkly comic alphabet chronicles every wheeze, creak, and unfortunate bodily function that plagues our decrepit immortal.Illustrated with exquisite Victorian-style drawings reminiscent of Edward Gorey, The Sisyphus Alphabet is a gothic abecedarium for anyone who's ever groaned while getting out of bed, forgotten why they entered a room, or discovered that immortality comes with a very uncomfortable catch."A masterpiece of morbid wit" - for fans of dark humor, medical mishaps, and the gentle art of complaining beautifully.Perfect for lovers of Edward Gorey, Lemony Snicket, and anyone who finds poetry in life's smaller disasters.
