In the 21st century, a scientist uncovers their Victorian
ancestor's notebook in a box. This ancestor is Dr McCreebor - an
eminent explorer, philosopher and collector of the very strange and
truly creepy. Dr McCreebor's book is filled with the dark and
disturbing stories he has collected on his travels around the
world. And now, after over 125 years in a dusty attic, Dr
McCreebor's writings can be read... by only the bravest. Discover
the fascinating stories behind a series of objects, people and
placesin every chapter. McCreebor writes from a Victorian
perspective - and his descendant isn't afraid to write notes in the
margins, bringing the science into the 21st century. Uncover
Artificalia (man-made objects), Naturalia (natural creatures and
beings), Spiritualis (the spirit world), ScelereSupplicium (crime
and punishment), Scientifica (scientific tools), Magicae (magical
objects) and Morteum (skulls, bodies and more). Steampunk
illustrator Celsius Pictor intricately illustrates McCreebor's
sketches, maps, records and photographs. 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.
