Sci-fi I re-read most of the old Gibson books. The books themselves are old as well, the translated ones used to be easiest to find. Still like him, but the scene skipping gets on my nerves.
No kindle or audiobooks for me, I count on needing stuff to write on, insulate layered clothing, start fires or wipe my ass with when the world ends.

Of course, I don't think anyone has ever found any of these entombed kids, so probably bullshit, but interesting nonetheless in that they aren't "blood libel" stories like "Jews drinking the blood of children" stuff or the modern Q-anon variants.

From the folk-tales collected by the Brothers Grimm from the people living in the Black Forest? Ya think?

That would make sense. Also Colonials tended to send their really fucked up people down to the Colonies so who knows? There might have been actual white cannibals there.

It makes me wonder if the early Teutonic tribes practiced cannibalism, or if it was resorted to in times of famine.
