Stars: 2
Review by: Mandy Apgar
A collection
of "melancholy accidents," obituaries of sorts that back years and
centuries ago were written for those who died as a result of gun
mishaps. Thing is, one can only read so many of these
things, especially today. After the 1oth story describing how a person's
brains were splattered one gets rather tired of the concept. I used to
research things like this for a historic society, but these are
certainly more violent than the everyday ones, so
the end product becomes rather ghoulish instead of getting a "Darwin
Awards" type vibe that I had hoped for. As an historical examination it
is alright but as an exercise in gun caution it kind of falls flat in
light of the kinds of stories told and is somewhat
depressing.
