Book Review of The Mortician's Birthday Party

The Mortician's Birthday Party
reviewed on


George Webster was a professional mortician. It wasn't until the age of forty that things began to happen to him, but then they came in an avalanche. He inherited a fortune. He bought a big car and a big house. He acquired a wife and a girlfriend. His wife disappeared. He acquired a young man. The young man was soon in bed with the girlfriend. This is a splendidly macabre, gruesome, and entertaining story.
