From the chilling precision of Lingchi, or "Death by a Thousand Cuts," to the bone-stretching torment of the Rack, we uncover the dark history behind these cruel instruments of suffering. We also explore the grim reality of the Pear of Anguish, a device designed to inflict unspeakable pain, and the horrific fate of those sentenced to be Hanged, Drawn, and Quartered—a punishment reserved for the most heinous crimes.
