Harvard discovers three of its books bound in human Flesh (1 Viewer)

[badmojo1006]

A few years ago, three separate books were discovered in Harvard University's library that had particularly strange-looking leather covers. Upon further inspection, it was discovered that the smooth binding was actually human flesh... in one case, skin harvested from a man who was flayed alive. Yep, definitely the creepiest library ever.

:X

Interesting stuff.

 

[McGarnicle]

Even I find that horrific.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Pretty sure that reading any of these books would summon Cthulu.

The fact that one of these turned out to be an autographed copy of Larry Summers's autobiography worries me a little.

I'd be fine with that if the skin were Larry's.

Necronomicon?

Nope

Harvard's creepy books deal with Roman poetry, French philosophy, and a treatise on medieval Spanish law for which the previously mentioned flayed skin was used.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition...

Well that makes your skin crawl.. or at least dog ear a little.

You can't judge a book by its cover.

 

[Workhorse]

If you rub the cover, does it become a set of encyclopedias?

 

[Godsbrother]

Too bad it wasn't a book on how to lose weight. How to Get Skinny

 

[Guest]

Was the guy who was flayed Corrinthian?

 

[Vike Me]

Used to have to be a 34th level Mason to know this. ####in internet.

 

[TheIronSheik]

Actually, it's just sheepskin :(

While the mystery surrounding what this particular book was bound in has clearly been solved, the covers of the other two books allegedly bound by the body of a person still haven’t been cracked.

 

[Parrothead]

I thought the internet put skin mags out of business

 

[The Duff Man]

Writer : I put my heart and soul into this book.

King: Not enough.
