Dark Archives: The Curious History of Books Wrapped in Human Skin
9.99 €
A number of ancient books, seemingly indistinguishable from other antiquarian publications, became the starting point for the strange and shocking research of librarian and journalist Megan Rosenbloom. Their main mystery lay not in their contents, but in their covers: they were made of human skin. Where did these books come from, and who was behind their creation? For whose collections were anthropodermic editions made, and were many of them made? In The Dark Archives, Megan Rosenbloom describes how she and a team of scholars, experts, and other librarians investigated this murky subject and how, following the trail of various rumors, they tried to discover the truth. This research is reminiscent of a detective story and a thriller, with the only difference being that everything Rosenblum describes took place in reality.
