Crappy Taxidermy is a single topic blog that highlights photographs of bizarre-looking or poorly stuffed animal skins. On February 21st, 2014, the “Crap Taxidermy” Facebook [2] page was launched, gathering more than 105,000 likes in the next two months. For instance, instead of being placed in a coffin for her wake, Miriam Burbank, a New Orleans woman who died this year, was sitting up at a table with a beer and a cigarette. Apparently This Matters" Is Jarrett Bellini's weekly (and somewhat random) look at social-media trends. The reason for the name change, Su explained, is that her book is actually being published by a British publishing house, and that British people don’t use the word “crappy.

This volume brings together the very best of the worst (along with a DIY Stuff Your Own Mouse lesson by an Insect Preparator from the American Museum of Natural History), showcasing the most perverse yet imaginative anatomical reconstructions of the animal kingdom you'll ever see.creepy taxidermy fascinates me, and i never knew what a "thing" it was until i read jenny lawson's book, Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir, and started peeking at her blog.

a few of these examples aren't in the book itself, but they are on the blog, and they are pretty damn creepy, so worth including.Of course, despite Su’s carefree attitude toward Nish’s Twitter feed, it might ultimately come to blows when the publishers get involved with marketing the book. Somehow – Su still does not know how – the internet at large quickly discovered her collection, and she has been adding photographs herself, and taking contributions from others, ever since. 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.
