Informative, somewhat macabre, Gorgeous. Part photography book part history tome. I learned a bit and was in awe of the photographs. Will definitely check out this authors other book about ossuaries.

Another hold came in from the library. The pictures in this are stunning.

silverlocusts What happens if you put it in the night return? It runs off and causes chaos? It incites the other books to rebel? 8y
Cortg As a library employee, one never knows what you'll find in the book drop in the morning. Seriously! 8y

You could say I have a small obsession for macabre reads.
FYI, the Penny Dreadfuls from B&N is an absolute must for any 18th Century horror fans.
