  Don’t forget the part where the wallpaper contains arsenic.

    Not only is Shadows From The Walls of Death the most metal name I’ve ever heard for a book:

    “The book itself contains a dangerous concentration of arsenic compounds. The successful campaign against arsenical wallpapers urged by the book, along with the dangerous amount of the poison contained in the volume has led to the destruction of the vast majority of its original print run.”

      “so, this book will contain drawings of things that kill you?”

      “No”

      “Descriptions of things that kill you?”

      “No”

      “Well, then how are you going to teach people about the things that kill them”

      “Ahhh, well, I’ve got a novel method!”

      That does seem a bit young for that. Did it make sense to you at that age?

  Tbf, it wouldn’t surprise me if TB (aka consumption) made a massive return. It’s been long enough for people to have forgotten its devastation, and not learning anything from history because people be dumb.

    Oh, how salacious! Next you’re going to tell us you have some scintillating photographs of your ankles stored someplace, perhaps?
