Even though this book was published over 20 years ago, almost all remains timely and informative. It’s a fascinating look into all the things that do and can happen to a body after death.

I listened to this as an audiobook for the Morbidly Curious Book Club May 2025 pick. Personally, it is not my vein of morbidly curious topics… however, I will say it was highly informative, funny, and I found Chapter 4: Dead Man Driving and Chapter 5: Beyond the Black Box to be the most interesting chapters to me. For those interested - or should I say, curious - in knowing more about cadavers and various stories and antidotes told in a humorous tone, I’d recommend checking this collection out!

Fascinating. Roach's non-squeamish and sometimes irreverent humor works especially well with this topic. I was particularly interested in the hang-ups people have around the treatment of corpses, their own and their loved ones. (listened to on audiobook)
