Description:
Death comes for us all. He and I follow each other, into houses, down alleys, along highway shoulders. Do you know the truest words in this life? “Send not to know for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.”
Death Follows Me is the heart-wrenching debut true-life short story and poetry collection from Fenrir Bogear, who has spent the past dozen years collecting and transporting bodies for the state medical examiner’s office. Offering a gut-punch perspective into the messiness and moodiness at the end of life, each chapter reveals a truth about what it means to be a person, to have truly lived.
Someone must answer death’s call with compassion and care. Someone must bear the weight of tragic losses. Someone is responsible for moving each of us from our final location in life to our final resting place. Bogear is that someone.
This book contains content that some readers may find disturbing, including discussions of death, graphic violence, and abuse of children and elders. Each individual chapter includes specific “trigger warnings,” so readers can skip any story or poem. Reader discretion is advised.
Fenrir Bogear is a veteran of foreign war and a real-life medical examiner transport professional. He lives in the South with his amazing wife and fur babies. This Viking-at-heart loves puppies, sunsets, and coffee.
