Everyone's favourite mortician offers seriously fascinating answers to the questions you have about death but were too afraid to ask - for fans of WHAT IF? and WHY DON'T PENGUINS' FEET FREEZE?

Can we give Grandma a Viking funeral?
Why don't animals dig up all the graves?
Will my hair keep growing in my coffin after I'm buried?

Every day, funeral director Caitlin Doughty receives dozens of questions about death. Here she offers her factual, hilarious and candid answers to thirty-five of the most interesting, sharing the lore and science of what happens to, and inside, our bodies after we die. Why do corpses groan? What causes bodies to turn strange colours during decomposition? and why do hair and nails appear longer after death? The answers are all within . . .

Industry Reviews

"Nobody likes to think about mortality, but if you're going to, there are far worse places to start than Doughty. Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? is funny, dark, and at times stunningly existential, revealing not only how little we understand about death, but also how much kids can handle. As to whether or not your cat will eat your eyeballs? You'll just have to read the book to find out"

"Consistently good fun"
