Unusual Ways to Die: History’s Weirdest Deaths

So, you think your job is boring? Well, any job can get monotonous… just ask the Grim Reaper! That’s why he (or she) feels the need to slip some weird and bizarre deaths in amongst the ordinary ones! And, some of these unusual exits have been documented by a very unusual author by the name of James Proud, who used to write for Ripley’s Believe It or Not. He calls it Unusual Ways to Die: History’s Weirdest Deaths!

Everyone dies, but some people have a little more style than others when it comes time to bow out. This book gives an appreciative nod to those people. Learn all about the student who thought that sliding down a laundry chute would be fun, until it turned out to be a rubbish compactor. Or maybe the Swiss gent who was killed by a bear… wielding an axe!

If you find that reading about inventive departures enriches your life (and, why wouldn’t it?), then you definitely need to read Unusual Ways to Die before you hear an ominous knock on your door… and your neighbour starts sharing work stories while asking to borrow a cup of sugar. Life’s too short.
