A look at how toxins derived from the world around us are used! We're talking poisons, venoms, any compounds generated by animals, plants, fungi, and other natural processes. Whether used for defending against herbivores (🌱), capturing dinner (🕷️) , or even cutting loose after a long week (🍸), toxins are inescapable!

Nonfiction about strange, outlandish, and/or macabre subjects (books that make you more or less go “wtf?!”)

Nonfiction books on poison!

This is not a taboo romance list…..well, if you don’t count my weird love for all things poisonous or venomous! A list of non fiction books about the critters that make chemical weapons, nasty toxins that are a bit more human in origin, and people who use chemistry for more nefarious intents!!

General/Informational/Illustration/Some Folklore based books about fungi and poisonous plants (will be updating randomly when I find more)

A mix of comptemporary witchcraft texts, academic texts, and fiction to guide and inspire.
