Dead Weird
In Dead Weird, Jim Hewitson is let loose on the ultimate taboo and finds that death can be fun for all the family, a good day out or the perfect excuse for a booze up or a fight. Executions, grizzly murders, raising the dead, battlefield carnage, clean-in-between-the-sheets death, traditions, proverbs, omens, anthems and premature burials - they're all here to give us a new perspective on life's greatest certainty: DEATH!

An entertaining and fast read about mortuary practices over the centuries in Scotland. Quite amusing! :)

As a whole, I did enjoy this book, although
since there was no plot to get sucked into,
I had to take a break every now and again.
It was also interesting to read a Scottish
perspective on American and other culture's
funerary traditions.
This book is perfect for flipping through
during spare moments.
