However, the powers of the interwebs are remarkable and I soon found not just a head, but an entire alligator for a bargain price due to bad stitchery, stuffing leakage, and a missing but completely unnecessary hand. Frank Engator entered our life and I found myself getting high off the big score. Adorable pals like Pauly Shore: and the loveable drunk, David Hasselmouse: This book confirmed my belief that there is nothing in the world quite like taxidermy.
It takes a special breed of weirdo to appreciate the art behind taxidermy, but I have faith that many of you are weirdos just like me and will rush to the book store come September in order to have this teensie little masterpiece featured as a coffee-table-book-of-choice. Until then, happy hunting. View all 22 comments. Oct 02, Emma Sea rated it did not like it Shelves: non-fiction , auckland-library , humour.
Although the blog has, from time to time, left me unable to speak from laughing, put all those bad taxidermic animals together in one place to read in a sit-down session and all I felt was sorrow. It suddenly seemed like some terrible lack in our species that we do this to other animals. Seeing them on the flat matt page, instead of glossy pixels on a screen accompanied by witty comments, a wave of self-hatred surged over me :. View all 4 comments. This book is exactly what it purports to be: it's a collection of incredibly bad taxidermy that is somehow both endearing, horrifying, and sad, all at once.
It's divided into various sections of bad, so on the one hand you have works of taxidermy with creepy eyes, and on the other, you have anthropomorphized animals that aren't "bad" so much as they look like escapees from a Walter Potter museum. I think the pictures are really funny, but it's kind of a morbid sense of "funny" that won't appeal to everyone.
My personal favorites were the frog kicking back with a pint Australia and the inflated yellow horse that someone inexplicably turned into a ball China. I feel like that's the weirdest one in here and I wish I had the backstory on it. Why yellow? Why a ball? Why a horse? In the back is a DIY on how to do your own taxidermy and I thought that section was pretty gross and skimmed over it. I also feel like the author should have really emphasized the fact that working with dead animals introduces the contamination risk for bacteria and the like, so you should make sure to thoroughly scrub any surfaces you worked on and gloves really shouldn't be optional as the author stated here.
Protective eye wear is a good idea, too. A year spent in a biology lab has made me a bit paranoid about that kind of thing. So this was fine but I didn't like it as much this second time around as I did the first time, even though it did make me chuckle a couple times.

It's short, it's visual, it's the perfect thing to thrust at a guest and watch them laugh and laugh before they even crack it open.
Thank you, internet, for letting me know this exists. Thank you, King County Library System for actually owning it and allowing me to borrow it. Dec 29, Morris rated it it was amazing Shelves: all-time-favorites , favorites , reviews. Five full stars for the amount of laughs the book has already provided. I imagine many more as it's revisited in the future. View 1 comment. Jul 05, Cora Tea Party Princess rated it liked it. Just a quickie, this is a pretty funny little book.
Mostly pictures, all of them hilarious, it's the kind of book you'd open up and show everyone so you could have a good laugh. I certainly giggle-snorted my way through it. The chapter explaining how to taxidermy your own mouse was particularly fascinating, but I don't think I'll be giving it a go myself! Fun for the fifteen minutes it takes to read it. I received a copy of this for free via N 5 Words: Funny, disturbing, instructive, hilarious, dead.
I received a copy of this for free via NetGalley for review purposes. It looks like some examples of crapy taxidermy provided in this book are in museums. It's In The Eyes 2. Dynamic Poses 3.

I had to get it the title sold the book.
The pictures say so much, they tell of people who should not be allowed to taxidermy anything ever again. Perhaps they had vision issues? It was fun I went through the book laughing and showing some of the shots to my friends who laughed along with me. A great and disturbing coffee table book. It will get your guests talking. Jul 07, Debbie rated it did not like it Shelves: net-galley. The author starts off by explaining that taxidermy can come in two speeds: well done, and crap — you can guess which the book focuses on.
The author includes quite a few photos: all of which are high-definition and full color. Although I may have giggled a few times, the book overall only ensured my dislike of taxidermy practices. The author includes a segment at the very end to aid the reader in developing their own taxidermist skills. Jul 07, Linda Miss Greedybooks rated it it was amazing Shelves: illustrations-art-picture-book , humor , net-galley-awarded.
I was awarded this truly funny, funny, book from NetGalley. This is filled with photo after photo of some very strange taxidermy, what a collection! Kat, I think your mom should be proud, even if it is not quite the book she thought you would publish!

This is most amazing book ever! People are so horribly untalented! Jul 15, Amber rated it it was ok Shelves: netgalley. Meh, nothing new here. I expected more than I had already seen on the Interwebs. Upside: I didn't know how to stuff a mouse.
Now, I do! Dec 10, Charlie rated it really liked it. Weird and wonderful and the sort of thing to occupy a few minutes or start a conversation during a quiet moment. Curious and terrifying. Mar 16, Alien Reader rated it really liked it. This is a funny coffee table book of taxidermy done wrong or done in a funny way. When the inner structure is done incorrectly you really notice.
It's interesting that humans have this hobby of creating something that looks alive but is actually dead. We want to suspend our disbelief. But if the taxidermy ends up looking like a balloon or a cylinder, or its eyes are bulgin This is a funny coffee table book of taxidermy done wrong or done in a funny way. But if the taxidermy ends up looking like a balloon or a cylinder, or its eyes are bulging, we can't suspend our disbelief.

This is an abbreviated version of the review that appears on my blog, Mediatron. Kat Su's Twitter Crap Taxidermy is an often hilarious, sometimes creepy, and always weird glimpse into the world of stuffing dead animals.
I was very excited to get an ARC of the book, but when I opened it I was disappointed - where was the dry, rib-cracking commentary that makes the photos entertaining in the first place? It's like trying to read F U Penguin without the snarky insults - just pictures with little to no meaning nor intrigue. Apr 13, Matthew Lynch rated it it was amazing. Can't stop laughing with this one. Will change the way you see the world Can't stop laughing with this one.
Will change the way you see the world Mar 17, M. Entertaining The pictures that fill most of the book often made me laugh. It would have been much better if the author had included a picture of her own project. Overall it was an entertaining book and now I want to go buy a few feeder mice and some borax to try out the instructions at the end. Jul 05, Erin rated it really liked it Recommended to Erin by: karen. Shelves: humor , arc-review , art. ARC for review. C'mon, guys.
You had me at the title and the cover photo. Well, as advertised, both crap and taxidermy. Includes a very helpful how-to section so you can do it yourself! Please, please, please let someone do that and film the attempt. Not only does Kat Su provide an interesting and humorous -- or depressing, depending on your view of the world -- array of crazy taxidermy, but she also includes step-by-step instructions for stuffing a mouse on your own. Not something I'd want to do, but a nice addition for a book on taxidermy!
Note: I received a digital galley of this book through NetGalley. Sep 13, Bonnie rated it did not like it Shelves: I cannot remember where I read a glowing review of this book - maybe "Mad" magazine. Instead, most of the examples in the book were images snapped of old, badly taxidermed critters found in foreign countries. Most looked like road kill with googly eyes glued to their heads.
