商品簡介
Would you like to be buried, burned, sunk, or pickled? Perhaps you'd prefer to be turned into a diamond, embalmed like Lenin, or shot into space like Star Trek's Scotty?
The Dying Game is a roller-coaster history of everything that has, could, and does befall a corpse - from the bizarre and grisly death rituals of ancient and modern cultures, to the morbidly fascinating biological, ethical, and legal story that begins only when we end.
A book of the dead that's as gruesomely entertaining as it is exhaustively informative, Melanie King's adventure into the world of this uniquely human obsession lifts the lid on everything you never knew (and didn't know you wanted to know) about the last taboo: Death.
