Synopsis
It's safe to say everyone thinks about death. But have you ever wondered about what sort of keepsakes you can make with your remains, or the most scandalous deathbed confessions throughout history? Well Madison Reyes and Spencer Henry have, and they've spent countless hours scouring the darkest corners of the internet, digging through newspaper archives, devouring documents, and picking the brains of death industry experts to bring you Obitchuary, a darkly funny and deeply poignant exploration of all things Death. With illustrated chapters like 'Keep In Touch' on seance, ouija, and the history of connecting to the dead, 'Obituaries' on the wildest real-life obituaries, and 'Pet Cemetary' on the inventive things people do for their deceased pets and the ways in which pets mourn their owners, Madison and Spencer guide us through surprisingly colorful history, traditions, and contemporary practises to demystify taboo topics. Shocking, macabre, hilarious, and moving, Obitchuary digs deep into the physical aspects of death while also carefully exploring what death says about our humanity, and the ways we choose to remember those we've lost. So go ahead, crack open the book - we know you're dying to read., We're so glad you're here! We can assume a lot of things about you by the fact that you decided to pick up a book subtitled The Big Hot Book of Death. Are you big? Hot? Dead? None of these are prerequisites to enjoy the material to follow; we're just curious. In fact, curiosity is how we landed ourselves here in the first place! We, Spencer Henry and Madison Reyes, sort of fell into the world of the macabre, stemming from a long history of sending each other the most outlandish obituaries we could find. That somehow evolved into a podcast, and then-what do you know-a book! A whole fucking book. So what can you expect? A romp through death. You might shed some tears or fall into a fit of laughter-honestly, we hope you experience an entire range of emotions as you flip through The Big Hot Book of Death, because, let's face it, that's life! It's fun, it's unpredictable, and sometimes it fucking sucks. So allow us to take your mind off the mundane and into the insane.
