You can also hear her neighbor walking around upstairs for extra haunted house vibes. Legend has it, he's still walking around up there. We also want to make a correction, Guy Fawkes Day is still celebrated in the UK, but not in the US.

    E10: Anthropodermic Bibliopegy

    In what could be our grossest episode ever, Raven tells B about Anthropodermic Bibliopegy (books bound in human skin). Raven also gets a new phrase added to her vocabulary thanks to B. Listener discretion is definitely advised. TRIGGER WARNING: This podcast contains discussions on human dissection and non-consensual use of someone's body after death. Because of the origins of these books, we will not be posting pictures on our Instagram or website.  Check out our website or Instagram for sources though! https://www.monmastpodcast.com/ | @monmast_podcast
