Ghoulish Tendencies

Join us as we uncover the chilling history of books bound in human skin, also known as anthropodermic books. Once symbols of prestige for physicians and collectors in the 18th and 19th centuries, these macabre artifacts have recently been a hot topic of critical ethical debates. We explore the science behind identifying these bindings, their historical context, the troubling lack of consent surrounding their creation, and the stories of the people who made them.
