The multi-million bestselling Adam (Spoo-)Kay presents the funniest, goriest, and most terrifying activity book of all time: Kay’s Gruesome Games. Inspired by the blood-spattered, gut-spilling, skull-drilling history of medicine, Kay’s Gruesome Games is packed to the (cauldron’s) brim with petrifying puzzles, bloodthirsty brainteasers, and eerie experiments.

Featuring more than 500 creepy craft activities, revolting recipes and bone-crunching ‘True or Poo’ quiz questions, readers will need an eyeball for detail and a strong stomach as they:

- Pump blood out of homemade hearts

- Decode ancient cures for constipation

- Cook up maggot-infested cupcakes


So grab your leeches and prepare your potions, as we go back in time to a history that’s as hilarious* as it was horrifying. It won’t hurt a bit … unless your sides split.

*Guaranteed to be significantly funnier than the Black Death.
