520 8  A fascinating insight into the strange world of collectors
       of the macabre, 'Morbid Curiosities' features 17 unique 
       collections and an extensive interview with each collector,
       explaining how and why they collect, and showcasing the 
       most remarkable pieces from each collection. The 
       collections include skulls, mummified body parts, occult 
       objects and various carnival, side-show and criminal 
       ephemera. Detailed captions tell the curious stories 
       behind each object, many of which are being shown outside 
       the private world of their collections for the first time.
