Death in Global Folk Tales is a unique collection of legends, mythology, ghost stories and superstitions. What makes it unique is that it is tied together by what ties all of us together, our mortality. See how people thought, spoke and wrote about death across cultures, centuries and continents. Carefully curated, the entries range from murderous to mirthful and sad to sardonic. This book collects and shares its tales for the sake of doing so. And yet, perhaps stories about dying can teach us something about living.

Autorenporträt
Kiki (Robert Escobar) loves history, folklore and physical culture. He grew up in the pre-digital world where he and his friends skateboarded on the roofs of houses, climbed onto freight trains, made homemade weapons and diligently worked on their dream of one day being ninjas. When not thus wholesomely occupied, Kiki gazed with fascination at anything from an earlier era. He now lives with his wife and children in the Dallas area where he examines antiques, skateboards, practices karate, writes on martial arts and folklore/mythology, makes YouTube videos (channel- Object History) and essentially refuses to grow up.
