    I found the Cunt Coloring Book from the 1970’s. Yes, scanned in as PDF. Yes, a few pages were already colored in, mostly psychedelic colors though.

    And yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like, a bunch of hand drawn lady parts to be colored in.

        It’s a speculative evolution book from 1990 about how mankind might evolve in the next 5 million years. Basically the premise is that due to climate change, new species of humans are engineered to survive in a more hostile world. And then it follows these new species and their further evolutions.
        The creatures in the picture above are both descended from humans.
        It’s weird, bleak and very far fetched.

        A small gallery of the various species:

          Question about the years if someone knows: is “years hence” a fancy british way of saying “years in the future” or is it some antiquated large non-SI unit of time since I find any of the species described in shorter timeframes, the Vacuumorph beimg an egregious example (“200 years hence”) very hard to imagine “evolving” only 200 years in the future, even with the 90s outlook on technology (since it seems they said these earlier examples at least are engineered species in the book).

            I wouldn’t know about the hence part, but I always read it as “years from now”. A bit like the opposite from “years since”.
            As for the other thing, it started out with deliberately engineered beings for specific tasks like the vacuumorph.
            About a hundred years later the remaining people would create new humans with the specific goal of being able to survive the harsher environment of a ravaged earth. It was these that evolved further into different creatures.
            It’s a pretty far fetched story either way, I just like it for the weird pictures :)
            I posted a link in one of the other replies. You can read the whole thing there if you’re interested, there’s a timeline on page 20 if you just want a quick overview.

            Germanic-sphere countries historically liked to kill people for stealing bread, so I guess it’s not too disproportional. You have to think the person going “yes please” would make the whole lynchmob atmosphere hard to keep going, though.

            Do share if you find it, I’ve mostly turned up works by critics with a quick search.

    Depends on your weird.

    I write, so there’s a ton of stuff on decomposition, forensics, and related subject matter that are weird by some standards.

    I’ve got stuff on niche mythology too, for the same reason. Along with that is stuff on modern paganism, syncretic religions, and related subjects. Again, weird by some standards.

    But I tend to think the morbid stuff is what would catch most people by surprise.

        Ahh, probably the one that gave visuals of bloat and skin slippage.

        I’ve seen plenty of dead bodies (did some hospice work, ran across a suicide in the woods, and a few accidents), but I’d never seen that segment of decomp.

        It’s both worse than I expected, and somehow not as bad.
