TFA blurb review
Dark Archives is a non-fiction book by the medical librarian and death-positive advocate Megan Rosenbloom. Dealing with anthropodermic bibliopegy, the binding of books in human skin, it expounds upon Rosenbloom's research on such books and their historical, ethical, and cultural implications. Rosenbloom discusses how anthropodermic bibliopegy reflects changing attitudes towards consent, ownership, and disposal of human bodies, and how the history of such books intertwines with the history of medical ethics as a field. She examines notable examples of anthropodermic bibliopegy and their origins, and interviews librarians, archivists, collectors, and experts on the topic. Though Rosenbloom supports the preservation and maintenance of anthropodermic books, Dark Archives also covers arguments to the contrary. The book was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 2020 and critics praised it for its thorough research, clear writing, and enthusiasm for rare books and their history.
