I’ve always heard the rumor that Harvard University has a book bound in human flesh. How creepy is that?!
I just wonder why and how….but then that’s such a dark and scary path to start to follow.
However, BookRiot’s Elisa Shoenberger wrote a post called “THE TRUE HISTORY OF HUMAN FLESH BOOKS AND OTHER TALES“!
Human flesh bound books, also known as Anthropodermic bibliopegy, is a very grisly practice and isn’t something out of a horror movie!
One of the weirdest reasons in the article is to make the book more collectible. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I’d want to have a book bound in that…..otherwise I’d be worried about ghosts or something!
Super creepy (and gross) but check out the really interesting article…because as morbid as it is, it’s interesting as well.
