"From shrunken heads to witches' charms, saints' blood to graverobbers' remains, hangman's salve to trepanning tools, this book is a peek into our grisly and macabre past."--

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Adore the cover of this book!!
This book was a visual cornucopia of awesomeness! Packed full of creepy and gruesome graphics and interesting/disturbing facts. Divided into the following sections (Artificialia (art pieces and automata). Naturalia (natural objects, people, and animals), Spiritualis (spirit world), Scelus et Supplicium (crime & punishment torture devices), Scientifica (scientific instruments), Magicae (magic), Morteum (death) and presented in a found journalistic format. If you are a lover of strange, disturbing, dark and bizarre things, then this is a must have for you!
