The Gory Details Project

The Gory Details Project

Our friends at The Art of Bleeding started an interesting new experiment called the The Gory Details Project. Do you have a gory injury story? Call the hotline: 1-888-467-8535

Here are some of the gory stories submitted so far.

THE GORY DETAILS PROJECT represents an attempt to capture on audio a scandalously unscientific survey of first-person medical emergency narratives — stories describing your broken bones, burns, cuts, poisonings, or any other accounts of personal medical traumas you’d care to share. The recordings will be streamed and archived and (in some cases) incorporated into live performances, music, and video.

A journey of a thousand cuts begins with a tiny splinter in the foot!
