Throughout the history of mankind we live with the knowledge that we will one day die, these images, both morbid and beautiful, illustrate this inescapable fact. Regardless of race, class, wealth, or creed, we are all in the throes of the dance of the dead. This book includes all forty-one of the original woodcuts and stylized alphabet depicting the Danse Macabre by Hans Holbein the Younger, one of the major figures of the genre.

Beware what you eat, beware what you drink, yes, even what you touch. Danger can lurk where you least expect it. All it takes is one mistake and what awaits is an agonizing death. One sting, one bite from the most innocuous creature and before you know it your breathing becomes shallow, your heart erratic. Your mind clouds, everything becomes feint. Death is the result, you lowered your guard. This is the epitome of these covert substances which exist within the world. Whether in nature, or made by man, toxins exude the mystique of danger, of a silent horror which can infect and destroy from the inside out. However the real question is whats to fear more, the substances themselves, or those willing to use them?
