    Depends on your weird.

    I write, so there’s a ton of stuff on decomposition, forensics, and related subject matter that are weird by some standards.

    I’ve got stuff on niche mythology too, for the same reason. Along with that is stuff on modern paganism, syncretic religions, and related subjects. Again, weird by some standards.

    But I tend to think the morbid stuff is what would catch most people by surprise.

      Where do you usually find it at? I’m a horror writer and that sort of thing would be handy to have for my work.

        It used to be Google scholar. It was pretty easy to find good stuff when I was digging into it. Not sure if it’s still a reliable place though

      Nice.

      I came in here to post about having a copy of Titus Burkhardt’s Alchemy tome and DKMU Assault On Reality but I think yours might take the cake instead, as well as possibly including both of those texts.

        Ahh, probably the one that gave visuals of bloat and skin slippage.

        I’ve seen plenty of dead bodies (did some hospice work, ran across a suicide in the woods, and a few accidents), but I’d never seen that segment of decomp.

        It’s both worse than I expected, and somehow not as bad.
