Author Keven McQueen dissects some of Kentucky's more bizarre aspects of death, pulled directly from the history pages. Discover the reaper's creative side, meet the disgusting ghosts of Louisville and find out more than you wanted to know about old-fashioned embalming techniques. You will find it quite engrossing and just plain gross.
Keven McQueen is an instructor in the Department of English and Theater at Eastern Kentucky University and is the author of five books on Kentucky history, including the Offbeat Kentuckians series and the true crime book Murder in Old Kentucky.
