Disgusting

Alexander H. Sandtorv

Slimy snot, stinky farts, squirting diarrhoea and the sound of a knife scraping a plate. The world is full of disgusting things. But what are some really disgusting things? And why are they disgusting? The reader will find the answers in this book. But it comes with a warning! If you can’t cope with reading about truly disgusting, repulsive, stinky, slimy stuff, you must not buy this book! The book is repulsively illustrated by Linn Eielsen who has clearly channelled her inner stinking and anally fixated nine-year-old. The resulting illustrations are… well… nauseating.
