Review title: Ramsland's Forte is fun, not facts
Product review: Cemetery Stories is a ghoulishly fun read but scattershot of focus. Ramsland is very good at wandering about, talking to people whom she encounters, but not so good at in-depth research. There are no real facts in this book about the handling of bodies, decomposition, or the funeral industry that couldn't be found online or in reference books. There are no historic cases mentioned that haven't been trotted out on TV or in print a dozen times before. The bulk of the new material in the book is "I have this friend who said..." stories that may be true, but mostly sound like urban legends.The upshot: if you know nothing about the topic, you'll definitely have your eyes opened and probably a good giggle, too. If you are looking for anything other than a romp, this isn't the book to choose.
