#GrotesqueCreatures

[witchscroll]

"The Cursed Elder" — a chilling collection that brings to life the image of an old, tormented soul, turned into a monstrous being by the curse of obsession. Once a man, now a creature of darkness, his body is twisted and scarred by the forces that have consumed him over time. The fire of his past life burns within him, but it's now overshadowed by the relentless hunger and thirst for vengeance that drives his every move.

His age is evident in the frailty of his form, but beneath that lies an overwhelming power, fueled by years of obsession and demonic influence. His once human features are now twisted into a grotesque visage, a constant reminder of the price of his undying thirst for retribution. This collection captures the horror of a man who has become a monster, a creature caught between his past humanity and the dark forces that control him.

Johann-Georg Schenck’s Monstrorum Historia Memorabilis belongs to a tradition of “monster books” in the Renaissance and Baroque periods, which collected accounts of strange creatures from around the world. These volumes combined fact with fantasy, as European scholars and artists sought to catalog the natural world in its entirety—while also including imaginary or exaggerated beings. Such creatures often served as symbols of the unknown and were sometimes used to represent moral or philosophical ideas. ⁣
