A fascinating collection of stories that are by turns both macabre and poignantly sad. Many of them deal with the last moments of characters from History and the World of Film. The stories are often quite dark and are, as Paul Littlewood says in his foreword, "Not for the faint-hearted". The pieces feature infamous assassins such as John Wilkes Booth and Nathuram Godse; there is also a poignant 'take' on the legend of King Midas and a chilling 'revisit' of Hitchcock's Classic 'The Birds'. These 26 pieces vividly combine tragedy, comedy and pathos, all beautifully illustrated to provide a short but enthralling read.
