** [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3512 SCP-3512], or rather, SCP-3512-2, the book which causes the condition, ''The More You Know, a Pick Up Artist’s Bible''. (Before clicking the link, be warned, this is disturbing even for SCP Foundation.) This book, in effect, details how to make a woman an obedient [[Sex Slave]]. Initially, the book seems like something a misogynist would write, starting with a forward by [[Snoop Dogg]] (the Foundation questioned him; he claimed to know nothing about it), and for the first 11 chapters, seems like any other controversial book that dehumanizes and objectifies women. However, the next 12 chapters (all of which are labeled “Chapter 12”) become increasingly darker. They include esoteric techniques, geometric proofs, dream interpretation, self-surgery techniques, symbolism in architecture, and anomalous rituals. The true “eldritch lore” part is the 18th chapter, which details how to create a [[Our Homunculi Are Different|sort of homunculus]] made of human fat and human fingers (the latter donated by whoever builds the homunculus and possibly members of his family), which is what is used to dominate and enslave a woman you desire, although the victim eventually dies after succumbing to madness. Worst of all, the book’s writer - and likely, many of the men who buy it - is a member of some sort of cult that seems tied to [[Religion of Evil|Fifthism]], whose lair is near a whole river of human fat. The leader of this cult being a monstrosity who seems to have grafted the donated fingers to himself.

** [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-140 SCP-140], ''A Chronicle of the Daevas'', is one of the most dangerous in the Foundation's custody. This tome details the history of the eponymous empire, a savage offshoot of humanity that worshipped [[God of Evil|the Scarlet King]] and conquered and subjugated many lands, engaging in black magic, slavery, human sacrifice, cannibalism, and many other atrocities. They are mostly extinct other than some of their immortal rulers (one of which no doubt wrote this book) but every time blood or ink touches the pages, the information on them is expanded, and the date and means of how the civilization fell becomes different, always placing the date decades or centuries later. To illustrate this phenomenon, when the book was originally discovered, it claimed the Daevites were destroyed by the armies of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qin_Kai_(general) Qin Kai] in the third century BCE, but after repeated use, the book currently (as in, stated in the SCP entry) states that they were wiped out by [[Genghis Khan]] about 1,500 years later. Even worse, the history is always incomplete; it’s original owner upgraded it numerous times simply because he was curious. In theory, the book was created as a means of [[Rewriting Reality]] so as to undo the Daevite’s defeat, and if used enough times, the tyrannical Daevite Empire would be ruling the world in the present day, ultimately leading to the release of the Scarlet King and [[The End of the World as We Know It|the end of everything.]]

** [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1833 SCP-1833] (“The Class of 76) downplays the Trope; a high school yearbook, of all things. Regardless of who reads it, the pages with pictures of the graduating class seems ordinary enough, but some pictures are missing, some of the quotes from the students seem odd (often claiming it was a great year except for one student whom everyone shows disdain for; the student's name is blacked out) and at the bottom of the page is a girl with no face and a boy with two jagged vertical slashes in place of eyes. However, if read by someone who has graduated high school (regardless of the year) the book has an odd effect, as the reader perceives it as his own high school yearbook. Initially, the contents include messages from people they knew from high school, and are positive and encouraging. But after reading 10 pages, the messages start referring to embarrassing or regrettable events (that actually occurred), and further reading includes threats and insults towards the reader, often outside of high school, plus pictures of deformed people. After 30 pages, the reader sees pictures of himself doing embarrassing things, then of himself committing or being a victim of violent crimes. The book is in fact safe to read and cannot harm the reader (it is classified as a Safe SCP) but it does make reference to many other SCPs that are incredibly dangerous, suggesting some horrible curse condemned the class of 76 at Kirk Lonwood High School to a [[Fate Worse Than Death]].
