Description
Anthropology professor Duncan Clarke's Christmas break is in jeopardy if he doesn't get a handle on his anxiety disorder. To salvage his career, he intercepts a mysterious box of curiosities intended for the university, which leads him to a travel journal from 1865. The journal belongs to Edward Walker, an eccentric Victorian curiosity dealer, and contains a disturbing drawing of a young boy, "Specimen Z". Desperate to uncover the fate of the mysterious boy and the dark secret Walker kept in his basement, Clarke follows clues left by the gruesome relics of his predecessor's collection. As he delves deeper into the mystery, Clarke becomes increasingly obsessed with understanding the chilling implications of the journal. His all-consuming quest for truth puts everything at risk, including his career, family, and life.
