Summary: Hauntingly Eerie with Fabulous spooky stories
Comment: This a fabulous book - and what I like about it is that Katherine didn't dwell on the history of burial (SNOOZE)....and the history she did mention was something that was completely different than what you normally would read. The stories are COMPLETELY different than what you would expect. MANY, MANY interesting stories that are just so eerie and bizarre, that it makes your skin crawl. I am a police officer and have friends in the mortuary business, and this is the closest thing I have discovered that unravels the secrecy behind the death industry. I wished I had purchased this months ago....I purchased the book: "Corpses, Coffins and Crypts" by Penny Colman - and I was so turned off by this rubbish, that it sits on my book shelf collecting dust. It is a worthless and boring book that makes one want to fall asleep quickly while reading it in bed. I recommend it to all of those out there with insomnia. But, if you want a real book that keeps you up at night, flipping page by page, not knowing what to expect, the Cemetery Stories book is for you. This is a masterpiece of information - and the way Katherine writes it is brilliant! It covers ALL facets of death...and not just the obvious. She is a true believer in the scientific and supernatural field...Keep up the good work Katherine..I would love to meet you someday!!!!!!!

Summary: NOT FOR CHILDREN......
Comment: I am a former Death care worker, and I bought this hoping to hear some of the same tales we all told. Well, all of us in death care know there are creeps out there that mistreat corpses, but to write about all of it in the open market where kids could read it is too much. Some of the people in this book that Katherine wrote about should have been prosecuted. Necrophilia of the most physical kind...not the witchy talking to the dead....is a most mature subject matter,objectionable even. The people that participate in corpse abuse, mutilation or sexual acts, are mentally ill or evil or both. If you buy this book, and it has some interesting tales and some fact, don't leave it around for young people. Thanks, Dawn.
