Review: The dead deserve respect, and this author says as much, and then promptly calls the body of an obese person a ‘monstrosity’ and then writes a whole chapter about all the laughs they got out of a man who died while dressed as a woman. Absolutely unacceptable. It also serves no purpose in the grand scheme of things. It doesn’t teach anyone anything and it’s basically just the sticky-note version of what happens in a morgue. I couldn’t finish this book, nor do I want to, and I wouldn’t recommend to to anyone. That half star is me being generous.

Wow, you not finishing a book is a big deal. This really must be awful.

This author sounds like a terrible person, I’ve considered sending my manuscript to Soft Skull but now I’ve got to wonder about the quality of their press. Nothing like the idea of having your body handled by a douchebag with the mentality of a schoolyard bully after death. 😛

Yeah, I’m not sure how much I trust Soft Skull for letting that out into the world. Good luck on the manuscript! That’s so exciting!
