Special Announcement: Exhumed

Special Announcement: Exhumed
I'm pleased to announce that my newest book, , is scheduled for August 4th, and it's available for pre-order TODAY! Exhumed is a 400-page historical journey to unpack the heart of the Mercy Brown story. Think of it like a 20-episode Lore miniseries of brand new material and research, hand-crafted for lovers of strange history. Here's my publisher's fancy write-up about the book: ———————————— About Exhumed "From critically acclaimed podcaster and bestselling author Aaron Mahnke comes this engrossing and macabre exploration of the folklore and early medical practices that fueled the ghastly exhumation of Mercy Brown in 1892. With Exhumed, Mahnke presents a unique history of the intersection of folklore and science, and how pop culture, medical advancements, and pseudoscience of the time shaped the perspectives of people in 19th century America. From the death of George Washington to Mary Shelley writing Frankenstein, Mahnke leads reads on a fascinating journey through history, touching on mummification, executioners, corpse medicine, European vampire folklore, and so much more. He reveals that, as shocking as Brown’s exhumation might seem to us today, it also reflected surprisingly common attitudes and beliefs about the relationship between the dead and the living, the nature of science and magic, and the fate of the human soul. It all builds to a revelatory understanding of human behavior that continues to this very day." ———————————— Learn more, see the cover, and pre-order your copy today...over at my personal website:
