The Empire of Death by Paul Koudounaris, 224 pages

This book covers the history of charnel houses and ossuaries. I ordered this book via inter-library loan to use as a resource for my upcoming program on how bodies are treated after death throughout history and around the world. While the book was dry at times, the pictures alone made it a worthwhile read.
