Dead

In his new book, DEAD: A Celebration of Mortality, Charles Saatchi confronts the inescapable subject of death, decay and mortality in a series of perversely entertaining essays written in his characteristically dry, sardonic and amusing style. The 52 essays span a wide variety of topics; the Russian mafia, snake eating spiders, Attila the Hun, The Wild West, being run over by your own dog, the most effective poisons, fatal curses, near-death experiences, premature burials, snuff movies and lethal sex.
