With a foreword by a Mayo Clinic doctor and an afterword by a funeral director, This Will Kill You gives readers a unique peek under the Grim Reaper's Robe. Thoroughly researched and illustrated, not to mention hilarious, it describes in deathly detail just what happens to the human body when it is struck by lightning, slimed by a dart frog or flung from a mountain top.
