Exquisite Corpse: Surrealism and the Black Dahlia Murders, Mark Nelson and Sarah Hudson Bayliss

I have to confess, I didn't actually read this book so much as skim it and look at the pictures. It's interesting, and would probably be more so if I knew (or cared) a little more about art. The supposition of the book is a link between surrealist art and the grisly murder of Elizabeth Short, The Black Dahlia. I checked it out of the library because another Dahlia book I read recently referenced it. It includes a slew of photographs of both the Short autopsy and crime scene, and various surrealist works.
