300 Year Old Book May be Bound with Human Skin

Murder trial accounts bound in the murderers skin .Now thats literary justice .

The ink in this book was black ? Doesn,t blood when used as ink turn black ?
If the book was left on the street .It might have been left there to find not just dumped . Bad pennies sometimes get left for people to find . The other side of that coin is that it may be as they say . The refuse of a B:E: .
 
You mean this one?

I found it a little dry.

Human history is full of some sick stuff. I wrote an article once about a Jewish musician. When he found out I had an interest in firearms, he told me his dad had a WWII Luger with human bone grips, courtesy of the kaput reich.

"Throw it in the ocean," I said. "That's an abomination, get rid of it."

"No, it's better we have it, and not neo-nazi's," he said.

I don't know. I really don't know.

There are some sick puppies out there. On three occasions I arrested a bona fide cannibal (same guy....the story is just too long......)
 
Jonah Bar Jonah served a spagehtti sauce to people that contained the meat of his victims- and he may have served this to the victum's family.

as for bone grips and Nazis- my father had a Nazi flag brought back from WWll. His friend gave it to him. He sold it to a forumite, as a matter of fact, because he could not stand to have the thing in the house.

For the most part I think that stuff is just stuff.

I have an "Heirloom" pistol. A Ruger MK1 that I recall my Grandfather got from the NRA for $9.00 or something like that new. He'd used it when he was in the KKK to shoot out tires of fleeing black men, so they could pull them out of the car and beat them. (To give due credit, yes he did eventually leave the KKK and he was remorseful for his actions)

It was later used by my father and I when I was a young 'un. He'd come home from work, and I'd come home from school. We'd sit on the front porch, drink a Coke, eat a Moon Pie, and spend an hour or two visiting with one another and plinking at hickory nuts and such from the front porch steps of the house. Some of the best spent "little monents" I ever remember with my father.

In the end, it's just another inanimate object.

(a freaky dang book bound with human skin is another story though!):eek:

It's a sin against nature to eat a Moon Pie with anything other than an RC.
 
Down in Georgia though, everything's a Coke. Even Pepsi is a Coke....:D

Took me forever when I moved to Alaska to figure out what the heck a "pop" was....
 
My best friend lost his son to suicide in his own workshop. The kid shot himself with a Colt .22 The Old Man tried many times to destroy the gun afterwards. He even had it in a vice once, ready for the torch. After a year of mourning he gave the pistol to me. He didn't want it around him, but knew it was an inanimate object and thought I might be able to see it as such. He was right, though I won't tell my kids it's history. We don't need a cursed, black gun in the safe.

I'm kind of curious as to what it's about. I'm hopeful that it's the ultra-rare French edition of the Necronomicon but to be honest, I don't think that's it.

The word hopeful and that accursed book do not seem to go together very well.:eek:
Just WHY would you want THAT book to turn up anyway???:confused:
Not from Arkam or Innsmouth are you???

By your reference to the French version, I assume that you must be a fan of H.P. Lovecraft also... I just wish someone would make a GOOD adaptation of 'At the Mountains of Madness'.
Most of the adaptations have been BAD... At least as adaptations, some have been good movies...

Actually, I spent some of my formative years in New England, now that you mention it. Not Arkham though.

The reason I brought it up is that I'm continuing my earlier joke about Gaston Glock being the primary representative of the Great Old Ones on Earth, and how all Glock owners are part of the conspiracy to destroy mankind, the Elder Gods, and indeed the entire universe.

It kind of falls on its face when it's explained, now that I think about it. No matter. You'll be wanting to buy a Glock though if you know what's good for you.

It wasn't all that extrodinary during the 19th century to find books bound in human leather. This was the same period during which cadavers were routinely traded privately to provide research material for medical practitioners. If the various organs could end up in jars then why not use a section of skin to bind a medical journal? Many of these early practitioners also had real articulated human skeletons hanging in their offices. I actually saw one or those old timers for sale at an antique store in Arcadia a couple of weeks ago.

Ha, I knew I picked up a Glock 22 again for a good reason. I sold my old one 13 years ago and have missed it ever since.

I don,t care if they are articulated as long as they are not articulate .
I think I would find their conversation a little dry .
I,m just joking as I think a skeletons days of flapping its gums are long past .
It could still jaw you to death .
You better hope it doesn,t have a bone to pick with you .
Just ribbing.
A skeleton would be good to keep near the front door if you go out
on a dark and stormy night . It would always have an eye out for you .
