Oh, it’s real. And it’s wrong in ways you probably didn’t even realise were ways.

This book contains fifteen pages of story, followed by eight pages of pin-ups of Sarah Palin. If you actually felt a little sick start to crawl up the back of your throat when your first saw that, I can guarantee you weren’t the only one.

US sculptor and modeller, Mike Libby customises real (dead) insects with antique watch parts and other mechanical components to create the unique, delicate, unsettling steampunk cyborgs you see above.

His work has been exhibited alongside that of Damien Hirst and Dorothy Cross and the tiny clockwork corpses sell online from $600 to $1200 each.
