Description
A series of old books, at first glance indistinguishable from other antique publications, became the starting point for the strange and shocking investigation of a librarian and journalist, Megan Rosenbloom. Their main secret lay not in the content, but in the 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 how many such books were produced?
In “Dark Archives,” Megan Rosenbloom tells how she—together with a team of scientists, experts, and other librarians—studied this grim topic, and, following the trail of various rumors, tried to uncover the truth.
This investigation feels like a detective story and a thriller, with only one difference: everything described by Rosenbloom happened in real life.
