Recs if you like Somebody Is Walking on Your Grave: My Cemetery Journeys...

Death will unfailingly find every person to have ever lived, yet is treated as a taboo topic in some cultures, causing extreme, pervasive anxiety. This nonfiction list aims to broaden understanding of this inevitability, both to hopefully negate some of the anxiety as well as satisfy some of our more morbid curiosities. It also aims to show that death is another, still useful, stage in the life cycle, aiding those that remain by helping to advance medicine, solve crimes, or understand art.

Non-fiction about horror, those is the horror industry, horror-adjacent subjects, and down-right terrifying books.

Books about death, dying, grief and what remains.
