How They Croaked: The Awful Ends of the Awfully Famous by Georgia Bragg, 179 pages


This was a book I saw mentioned in the book recommendations the comic Unshelved does. I was going to do a suggestion for purchase but Jeana had already bought it, yippee! This book covers some of the dreadful ways some famous people died. One of our early presidents was pretty much tortured to death by his doctors, a famous English monarch may have exploded in his casket, and two scientists either died a glowing death or had their brain stolen during the autopsy. The big thing was beating off my kids so I could have a chance to read it before they ran off with the book.
