Fatal Facts: A Lively Look at Common and Curious Ways People Have Died ( 306.9 LON) is a really quirky book. It's full of strange, short entries about subject of how people die. If you like "News of the Weird" that's in the Waterloo Courier, you might get morbid enjoyment out of this book.
Authors Kim Long and Terry Reim write about specific events that have happened as well as overall statistics on how people die.
Each entry is just a page or two long. It's a book that you can read a portion, put aside, and read another section later without losing any continuity. Think of it as the Reader's Digest of Death.
The humorous graphics with their old-time look adds to strangeness of Fatal Facts.
