The Forbidden Library explores the world’s most mysterious, forbidden, lost, and dangerous texts. Hosted by Ben Carter, each episode examines one remarkable book, manuscript, gospel, grimoire, codex, scroll, or sacred text—what it contains, where it came from, and why it became feared, hidden, or controversial. From lost gospels and ancient apocalypses to demonology, ritual magic, alchemy, and coded manuscripts, every episode opens a book you were never supposed to find.
