About the Author

Suzie Edge (Author)

Suzie Edge trained as a biologist before becoming a medical doctor to spend more time talking to people, rather than just bugs in test tubes. She's worked as a doctor in infectious diseases, haematology, and trauma and orthopaedic surgery. She has also completed a MLitt in Modern History to feed her fascination for the history of the human body and medicine.

She loves discovering the real historical stories of how we have treated our human bodies in life and in death. She has over 10.3 million likes and 500,000 followers on TikTok, who love tuning into her stories of gruesome and fascinating medical history.

She has been nominated for BookTok Author of the Year 2023.

Luke Newell (Illustrator)

Luke graduated with a BA in Illustration from Kingston University, and has made a living telling stories through pictures ever since.

Originally working in traditional animation for TV and advertising (Picasso Pictures, MTV) he moved through web animation into interactivity and games, working for ten years as in-house Illustrator and Concept Artist at Playstation's London Studio. He is currently a full-time Illustrator.
