In the 21st century, a scientist uncovers their Victorian ancestor’s notebook in a box. This ancestor is Dr. Mc Creebor —
an eminent explorer, philosopher, and collector of the very strange and truly creepy.
Dr. Mc Creebor’s book is filled with the
dark and disturbing stories he has collected on his travels around the world. And now, after over 125 years in a dusty attic, Dr. Mc Creebor’s writings can be read…
by only the bravest.
Discover the
fascinating stories behind a series of objects, people, and places in every chapter. Mc Creebor writes from a Victorian perspective — and his descendant isn’t afraid to write notes in the margins, bringing the science into the 21st century.
