Hi friends! Today I have some creepy nonfiction book recommendations for you! These books are all “creepy” because they deal directly or indirectly with death. They all have topics related to medicine, science, death, and forensics. Many of them have really cool illustrations in them too. Let me know if you know any other books that fall into this category that I might enjoy!
