FOUR STAR FUNERALS packs the emotional wallop of Titanic, darkened with a dash of Tales From the Crypt. This ten-author anthology about death and its aftershocks will sear your soul, make you laugh … and ultimately help you heal, if you're haunted by a death that has upended your emotions in ways you never expected.  A Collection of Memoir, Poetry, and Short Fiction  For anyone whose life has been torn apart by death—the death of someone you loved, the death of someone with whom you had unfinished business, or a near brush with your own demise—this book will help you settle your emotions, heal the wounds, and get on with living. The writing is first-rate. The ten authors of this collection have been widely published in various genres and formats: mainstream books, magazines, anthologies; fiction, nonfiction, historical and contemporary; from children’s literature to scholarly work. There’s nothing else quite like it: 47,000 words of death-inspired passion, mostly memoir and essays but with touches of poetry and fiction. Read a little each night or morning, and feel your soul grow easy.  “A good read … I was impressed by the quality of writing from so many different authors. Each story was unique, but each was extremely well written. The subject of death was handled with discretion, punctuated now and then with humor, making it a ‘fun’ read. I highly recommend it.” —Marvin S. Mayer
