There were more crime scene photos than I was expecting to see, but I was pleasantly surprised by the in-depth analysis of possible murder suspects. Several theories were explored, and the authors feel that George Hodel was the most likely suspect. I'd recommend reading "Black Dahlia Avenger" if you haven't already. Steve Hodel really lays out the entire case piece by piece to show why Dr. Hodel could have been the murderer. I believe that there was a connection between how Elizabeth Short was posed and someone deeply into the surrealist art movement. Dr. Hodel had connections with the surrealist community. This book provided a lot of examples of similarities between works of art and Elizabeth Short's corpse. I hadn't realized that the Minotaur theme was so prominent in the surrealist art movement. The bisected female form shows up repeatedly as well. Some of the comparisons of artwork to the the crime scene are a bit of a stretch, but most are convincing. The author also theorizes that members of the surrealist art community knew who committed the murder and left clues in their work. The title refers to a game played where a paper was folded into thirds and different artists completed a doodle without being able to see the others drawing. The book itself is great quality. It is larger than the typical hardback novel and the pages are very thick. I (almost) want to call it a "coffee table book", but I don't think you'll want all your guests flipping through this. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great and beautiful book. Very interesting and well-researched. *by K***A on December 24, 2014* Fascinating and beautifully researched and illustrated. If you are an art history buff and/or Black Dahlia buff: you need this book. I read it after I read Black Dahlia Avenger, and it was a perfect companion text with a lot more factual information (less speculation, that is) and primary and secondary sources. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SURREALIST SIGNATURES *by S***L on November 12, 2006* KUDOS TO MARK AND SARAH. As relates to the Nelson/Bayliss EXQUISITE CORPSE: SURREALISM AND THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, I would like to add my heartfelt appreciation and high praise for their outstanding research, dedication and documentation. I believe their independent and academic investigation, adds mountains of evidence to my original lay/foundational thesis that suggested surrealism and its art were the key to the DAHLIA crime signatures. Mark Nelson and Sarah Hudson Bayliss have connected the dots and the people and presented them for all of us to see. They have taken the long silent voices of those who knew (or suspected) and by holding up their works (riddles wrapped in mysteries)--HAVE MADE THEM SPEAK!Steve HodelLos Angeles --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/202802511-exquisite-corpse-surrealism-and-the-black-dahlia-murder-hardcover-bargain](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/202802511-exquisite-corpse-surrealism-and-the-black-dahlia-murder-hardcover-bargain) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
