Dr Cagliostro's Cabinet of Curiosities - Investigations of the Unknown Vol. III
This is a book that might change your life. In a bad way. It describes ominous objects and strange accounts originating from a world both beyond and within our own. The frightening revelations and disturbing insights found in this volume might alter the readers’ entire perception of reality.
Many argue that these dark mysteries and forbidden secrets should remain withheld from the public. We don’t agree. For nearly 180 years Dr Cagliostro's Cabinet of Curiosities has gathered a extraordinary collection of horrifying objects that whispers of an unknown world, far beyond reason and science. In this book author Oskar Hejll invites you on a tour through the museum´s remarkable collection, and the dark worlds from where it originates.
It’s a fantastic book. …one of the best of its kind, if not the best.
Freddie Valentine, The Mystic Menagerie Podcast
