Isn't death fascinating? Hayley Campbell thinks so and seeks out others who work with the dead to find out much more. What draws people to this work? And how does it affect them?
In the spirit of books on death like Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and Stiff, as well as deep dives on a topic like How We Die, this is an eye-opening journey into a strange, fascinating subject.
Campbell tackles what might be a gruesome topic with warmth, reverence, and empathy. Her personal connection and fascination with death (her father was a Jack the Ripper illustrator) is woven throughout the narrative, making this book a unique addition to the category.
