DESCRIPTION

Written in a guttural, staccato form of verse, this nauseating text actually was intended as a cookbook for phrenic scourges. Contrary to its author’s intentions, the manual reveals a collection of unusual anecdotes regarding the phrenic scourges’ culture and society. Written on parchment, bound in humanoid skin and penned in blood, the macabre manual reinforces common perceptions about these abhorrent creatures. Because the manual proves extremely difficult to properly interpret, only twenty-three copies are known to exist.  A metal buckle and leather strap is used to hold the vile tome closed.
