Would you be buried, burned, sunk or pickled? Or turned into a diamond, embalmed like Lenin, or shot into space like Star Trek's Scotty? "The Dying Game" is a rollercoaster history of everything that has, could, and does befall a corpse - from the bizarre and macabre death rituals of ancient and modern cultures, to the morbidly fascinating biological, ethical, and legal story that begins only when we end.

Essential reading for both the cultural adventurer and the morbidly curious, "The Dying Game" reveals everything you never knew (and didn't know you wanted to know) about the last taboo: Death.
