This is a horror story. But it's also truthful, factual and informative. Somehow, these concepts should be incongruous. by knowing how and why things happen we typically gain a sense of control and understanding over the unknown. This memoir is haunting precisely because the facts simply heighten the cosmic dread that permeates the narrative. what a terrible way to die.

Horrific incident, brilliant writing and storytelling. Slow at first but picks up halfway through. For this genre it’s an easy 5 star.
