The Mishkan Book of the Dead

Unlike other Books of the Dead, The Mishkan Book of the Dead does not merely concern itself with the "hereafter" or the "in-between", but delves into the "there-before" (as it were) and the "off-to-the-left-and-sort-of-sticking-out-from-behind-the-couch-a-bit" (so to speak)... a collection unified by the common theme of death, as shown from various angles, and within a wide range of contexts, including all the wonderful elements we've grown to adore and admire from our beloved Mishka-from the philosophical to the absurd, from the sexy to the morose, he covers the spectrum of death (and life) from his refreshingly unique perspective... Of his Book of the Dead, Mishka remarked: "Yes, yes-so here's some more that I have written... weep not! - or weep... who are you, but what am I?!... Read it or not-I'll - never know... or I might, but you won't know I know - or if you do, you won't tell me, but that would just be rude... (quite frankly, I really expected more from you... )-but, at any rate, another anthology of Zakharinish short fiction-I highly recommend it, as some of it doesn't suck at all (though I may be a wee bit biased... ); pass on it at your own risk... you won't know what you're missing-though you'll never stop wondering... and how the hell are you going to sleep at night with that looming overhead?..."
