Possessed Books: Antique looking books seem perfectly harmless until someone walks by, then the middle book slides out toward the victim as if it will fall from the shelf. Books also emit spooky sounds for a totally haunted effect. (via WisBlawg)


My ongoing shelf-cleaning has included works on my reading list, but also the following: Church Documents and Henryk Sienkiewicz.
