There's a limited amount of published material when you're dealing with the Entities considering the vast majority of people who know about them are serving them... and the rest tend to end up... well, hopefully they're dead.
[Because death is sometimes a kindness.]
There's enough. You have to learn what you're looking for.
If these things are old there'll be accounts going further back, there always is. Actual accounts, not something written from hysteria or wanting to write something.
( in a library this small she wasn't expecting any first editions but if adi was dealing with these things they had to have scoured and collected anything that they could find? )
They do. The vast majority of them won't seem like anything other than hysterical ramblings, or accounts of... different things. It's not so straightforward to tell whether something is an account of encountering one of the entities, or some ancient cult.
Or the difference between a mass murder and an experience of the Slaughter.
[He can tell generally, but he's had a lot of practice and supernatural assistance.]
Sometimes a murder is just a murder, nothing supernatural about it. The fear it generates may still feed the entity passively, but it isn't caused by the entity.
Not every skydiving accident is an experience related to the Vast, and not every death to disease is caused by the Corruption.

( especially with a name like slaughter. she's very new to figuring out these entities )
If the entities are here. I'd question it more elsewhere.

( an obvious statement but-- )
Sounds like more of an experience than reading.
no subject
[Although much of his experience had legitimately come from reading, just... influenced by the Eye.]
no subject
( is it suspicion or does she just want to know how long she has to be here to get a good cliff notes? )
no subject
[A bafflingly large amount of time considering how much could happen in that time frame.]
