Welcome to the Dead Family Club.
Join us, we have good snacks, and tons of famous members!
Playwright Naomi Westerman was an anthropology graduate student studying death rituals around the world when her whole family died, turning the end of lives from an academic pursuit into something deeply personal. She became fascinated by the concept of loss and grief, the multiple ways we experience it across cultures, history, and art.
Part memoir, part meditation on the many faces of death – from sprinkling ashes across the globe, to the power of horror movies, the complexities of engaging in true crime entertainment, and the vital communities of peer support groups – Happy Death Club is a frank, curious and darkly humorous look at one person’s journey through grief, and what lies beyond.

Instructions for using your 404 Ink ebooks:
1) You will need to download your purchased ebook in the zipped folder to a desktop computer and extract the ebooks. You cannot open a zipped folder on your mobile to immediately access the ebook.
2) Your purchase includes a PDF, a .mobi (this is the Kindle version) and a .epub (for any e-reader device that isn't a Kindle). Once you have identified which file is best for your use, you will need to manually upload the relevant file to your device. For Kindle, attach the file to an email, send it to your Kindle's email address (with any subject, and nothing in the body of the email), and it should appear on your Kindle shortly. You can also drag and drop the file onto your Kindle if you attach the device to your PC with a USB cable. You can manually add an .epub to your device also via cable or through emailing it to an address accessible via your device to download from there.
