Post-Mortem: Tales of the macabre, hilarious and downright bizarre, from those who work with death

by Tim Booth

Death is a certainty, but what happens in the lead-up - and in its aftermath - is anything but
predictable.

Nobody knows this better than those who work with death every day. There's no time for an
existential crisis when your 9-to-5 involves responding to fatal plane accidents, transporting organs
for urgent surgery, or fending off a dying man's request for Nickelback.

In this book, bestselling author and paramedic Tim Booth reveals the darkly funny, often absurd, and
sometimes horrifying realities of the professionals most people hope never to meet,

- crime scene cleaners
- organ procurement coordinators
- gravediggers
- combat medics
- emergency nurses
and so many more.

Blending laugh-out-loud humour with unflinching moments of poignancy, Post-Mortem tells the
stories of the people who face daily life's final chapter - so we don't have to.
