A Parody on "Mary's Ghost;" or, The Doctors and Body-Snatchers by Anonymous is a humorous and eerie take on the macabre practice of body-snatching. The book starts with a parody of the poem "Mary's Ghost," where Mary's spirit humorously narrates the fate of her body parts taken by doctors and surgeons. Touching on the dark subject of dissection for medical study, the parody adds a comedic twist to the unsettling theme, making it an entertaining and satirical read.
