Su Blackwell’s Creepy Book World


Using a scalpel, Sue Blackwell cuts and glues the pages of books to create these eerie miniature scenes.

“Paper has been used for communication since its invention; either
between humans or in an attempt to communicate with the spirit world. I
employ this delicate, accessible medium and use irreversible,
destructive processes to reflect on the precariousness of the world we
inhabit and the fragility of our life, dreams and ambitions.

It is the delicacy, the slight feeling of claustrophobia, as if these
characters, the landscape have been trapped inside the book all this
time and are now suddenly released. A number of the compositions have an
urgency about them, the choices made for the cut-out people from the
illustrations seem to lean towards people on their way somewhere, about
to discover something, or perhaps escaping from something. And the
landscapes speak of a bleak mystery, a rising, an awareness of the air.”

TIL in 2015 a father saved his son’s life when doctors wrongly declared him braindead and were taking him off life support. He barricaded himself with a gun in the hospital and had a stand-off with SWAT until his son squeezed his hand. The son made a full recovery

I actually just heard about this on the radio; the Michael Berry Show on WRNO 99.5. The hospital was trying to harvest his organs, and declared him dead. His father barricaded the door, and held an entire swat team at bay, until his son squeezed his hand, awake from a forced coma.

It gets better…

The swat team brought their own doctors who, after finally securing the room, started to check the kid. Turns out, the kid was fine, after waking up from the coma.

It gets better…

After the swat team doctors checked out the kid, there was a nurse who came in to “check” on the kid. The swat doctors asked to see her orders. Turns out she didn’t have any. What she did have was a 50cc syringe in her pocket, full of a powerful sedative. 5cc’s were enough to put someone in a deep coma. There were 50cc’s in the syringe, more than enough to euthanize the kid.

It gets better…

Swat doctors took her into custody. She refused to talk. They got a warrant and started checking into the deaths happening at the hospital. Turns out, there were a great many “quick decisions” made by hospital staff, for patients to be put into medically induced comas, from which they never woke up. All of which were finalized with organ transplants. Organ transplants which the families of the deceased did not know about.

TL:DR The hospital was euthanizing patients after illegally putting them into medical comas, then harvesting their organs.
