Morbidly Curious Books

Welcome, curious friends….

We have a new guide full of book recommendations for those who prefer the darker side of non-fiction.

Our resident goth librarian, Mara, has curated a delightfully spooky list of books to satisfy your spooky book cravings.

Below are just a few of the books Mara has found, so be sure to check out the whole guide for more.

 

 

 

Stiff by Mary Roach

Stiff is an oddly compelling, often hilarious exploration of the strange lives of our bodies postmortem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dark Archives by Megan Rosenbloom

On bookshelves around the world, surrounded by ordinary books bound in paper and leather, rest other volumes of a distinctly strange and grisly sort: those bound in human skin. Would you know one if you held it in your hand?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Goodbye Hello by Adam Berry

From paranormal investigator and host of Kindred Spirits Adam Berry comes Goodbye Hello, which blends supernatural and psychological research to explore the paranormal and afterlife to try and help answer big questions about the end.

 

 

 

 

 

Gardening Can Be Murder by Marta McDowell

This fun, engrossing book takes a look at the surprising influence that gardens and gardening have had on mystery novels and their authors. With their deadly plants, razor-sharp shears, shady corners, and ready-made burial sites, gardens make an ideal scene for the perfect murder.
