Presented by M. Leigh Hood

Ancient Greek philosophers drank the blood of youths, English kings took powdered skull, and there’s a reason the world has fewer mummies than it used to. Take a dark tour through Europe’s hidden history of medical cannibalism, corpse medicine, and the restoratively macabre – for your health, of course.


M. Leigh Hood is a rare beast of the Cincinnati wilds, most often found walking her monstrous hound, Shuck, or working hard to exacerbate her carpal tunnel syndrome at the computer. Her work appears in Fairy Tales Punk’d Volume II, Cincinnati Magazine, and the in-development MonThology project.
