"Funny, dark, and at times stunningly existential." —Marianne Eloise, Guardian

Everyone has questions about death. In Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, best-selling author and mortician Caitlin Doughty answers the most intriguing questions she's ever received about what happens to our bodies when we die. In a brisk, informative, and morbidly funny style, Doughty explores everything from ancient Egyptian death rituals and the science of skeletons to flesh-eating insects and the proper depth at which to bury your pet if you want Fluffy to become a mummy. Now featuring an interview with a clinical expert on discussing these issues with young people—the source of some of our most revealing questions about death—Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? confronts our common fear of dying with candid, honest, and hilarious facts about what awaits the body we leave behind.

      Mortician Doughty (Smoke Gets in Your Eyes) has assembled a collection of more than 50 questions that people, especially children, have asked her about death, and answered them with a delightful mixture of science and humor. (The answer to the titular question? Yes, eventually.) Questions range from "Can we give Grandma a Viking funeral?" to "Can I be buried in the same grave as my hamster?" to "What if they make a mistake and bury me when I'm just in a coma?" Each answer is only a few pages long and accompanied by illustrative cartoons. The topic of death is often avoided in conversation, but people are naturally curious about it, and most parents are likely to struggle with how to answer their children's questions--here is a book that will help. VERDICT An entertaining read, straightforward without being morbid. Of interest to anyone, young or old, who is curious about what happens to our bodies after we die.--Rachel Owens, Daytona State Coll. Lib., FL
