Books
Take an eerie journey through history as you meet over 180 human skulls and discover the stories behind them. It is said that the skull is the only human body part that is as powerful dead as it was when living. 'Skulls' is made up of a series of short illustrated stories laced with fascinating facts, historical and medical references and compelling anecdotes. The testimonials of more than 30 skull collectors reveal what is known of - or speculated about - the often gruesome history of the skulls, as well as how they were acquired and what makes them so highly prized.
