The Innes Tome

Felix

Encased behind one inch thick darkened glass in the Felix Library's Reserved section is the first printed book to be haunted, Innes Anatomy.

Written in 1878 by Felix General's Professor of Experimental Treatment, Mr Aalan Innes, this exhaustive study of the human body was only ever printed once as a bound author's proof. The book was found next to the body of the book-binder, Aalfred Aarmytage, whose every orifice had been neatly stitched up.

Naturally, Innes was the chief suspect, until he too was found dead. Only an autopsy revealed he was missing every major organ in his body, replaced by a green sponge-like substance. His son, Aangus, took possession of the tome and within days was dead - his central nervous system found beside his body.

A shrewd detective enlisted a blind student to transport the infamous volume to the bowels of the library where a team of illiterate carpenters built the case it now rests in. Some 100 years later, specially trained autistic photographers copied the book onto microfiche.
