"I've divided the books into sections based on theme and topic to help readers find exactly what they're looking for, but this list honestly could've been twice as long. There are so, so many morbid nonfiction books, and I've only included a relatively small selection here. Whether you're a fan of historical crime, medical history, poison, cults, or death — well, we've got a little something for everyone.
One last note before we begin. This is probably an obvious disclaimer, but nonetheless: keep in mind some of these titles get dark. And I mean dark. It's not all murder and serial killers by any means, but that doesn't mean it's all sunshine and daisies either. We're talking cults, cannibalism, and some of the darkest corners of medical history. I'm not even going to attempt to go into specific trigger warnings for each title, because it would simply be too many to count. Suffice it to say, be prepared for some nightmares if you read these books before bed."
