Ep. 30 - A Spooky Special Interest: Anthropodermic Bibliopegy with Megan Rosenbloom

November 01, 2025 • Episode 30

Happy Halloween ghosts and ghouls! In preparation for spooky season, we had the absolute pleasure of recording their first author interview with the lovely Megan Rosenbloom! Her book Dark Archives: A Librarian's Investigation into the Science and History of Books Bound in Human Skin has became a quick obsession of Jess'. Listen in as we discuss the motives behind the making of books bound in human skin, the misconceptions of their true origin, and her experiences while writing Dark Archives!

You can find Megan Rosenbloom on Instagram @libraryatnight.

Leave us a review if you enjoyed hanging out with us!
