Hello to all members of the Vault! I'm ecstatic about having found a board that is dedicated to detailing the lurid horrors of dusty anthologies! I hope I can start aiding in increasing the number of synopses here on the site because 1). I think it's a great way to make people aware of the great content inside the book and 2). it's just a fun hobby I like to keep myself busy with! So here's to the great work all of you have done and my hopes to see all you ghoulunatics on the board!

hi jose. thanks for your kind comments and welcome to the board - i hope you enjoy your stay with us and if you feel like adding to the synopses, give it a shot!
belated welcome to colin from the abyss, too. yes, there are a few contributors to 5th Black Book Of Horror on here - but there are several who contributed to the first one.

Thanks Demonik and it looks like the Black Book Conspiracy theory moves to a whole new level. Why its more exciting than that new Dan Brown novel

The more lurkers the merrier. 'Their Own Mad Demons' was chilling. Proper horror. Thanks re Leibnitz's Last Puzzle. Not only do I fail to spell his name correctly I can only solve maths equation of the 'if we have two beers now...' variety. What is Leibnitz's Last Puzzle about?

What is Leibnitz's Last Puzzle about? Dunno, it's a mystery to me

I don't know much about Leibniz and alchemy, he was a member of an alchemy society early in his life I think, I don't know if he kept it up though. That would be much more Newton than Leibniz, who seems a much more rational figure, and more an enlightenment man than Newton. His calculus is superior to Newton's fluxions. Leibniz is the cleverest man I've ever read about. A supermind.

It was written in a secret code, that, incredibly, Leibniz broke as he read it. Unfortunately I've forgotten what was in it.

Descartes was a really terrible man; he practised vivisection, thinking animals were mere robots and incapable of pain. He had a truly astonishing brain though, true superman material. There is a legendz that after his young daughter died he made a living doll of her, a bit like Hoffmann's Olympia. Some sailors found her aboard a vessel he was travelling on during a storm, and threw her overboard as they thought it was witchcraft and the cause of the foul and dangerous weather.

Descartes used to spend most of the morning in bed, but he can be forgiven as even though he was being lazy in body, his brain was active in amazing ways, thinking things no brain had thought before in the history of mankind.

Leibniz took part in what was known as the calculus war with Newton, who claimed Leibniz had plagiarised his work. He almost certainly did not, but worked on it separately (though it was common at the time for the great intellects of the age to share ideas, and Leibniz and Newton did exchange letters). Newton had an obsession with crushing those who he saw as a threat to his ego. Robert Hooke, another superman, was one victim whom Newton attempted to write out of history.

Four of the greatest minds in the history of our race walked the Earth at the same time: Huygens, Newton, Leibniz, and Hooke.
