About this Book

The gangster who danced himself to death. The fortuneteller who didn't foresee that her client would kill her. Read about it all, and hundreds more, in this all-true treasury of freaky fatalities.

Death is tragic--but it's sometimes undignified, too. And there are many ways you can exit the stage of life that are quite embarrassing. For example, there's the man who got into a fight with a monkey and lost, and the burglar who thought he was Santa Claus and got stuck in a chimney. These hundreds of entertaining true reports from across the globe reveal the most ridiculous ways you can meet your maker--and they'll make you laugh in spite of yourself.
