Marie Curie's notebooks are crazy once you think about it. They're so radioactive they have to be sealed in a lead box. Imagine a world where atomic theory is forgotten and a dude just goes "yea there's a book that details the secrets of the universe, the machinations of the creation of existence down to its barest essentials, but if you get close to it you fucking die. The more you read it the more your body slowly disassembles into mush." like wat excuse me
Are you telling me "eldritch unfathomable knowledge that drives you mad", may just be a book of otherwise fathomable knowledge that just happen to be lace with some kind of unknown type of what is essencially poison? Because I am all for this cosmic horror story
