Early praise for Death Becomes Them:

​

“Every life is laid out with such humor, such style and heart, it’s hard to imagine the dead themselves would not be thrilled to come back and read what the author had to say about them. Forget the bible - this is what I want to find in a hotel drawer at four in the morning. A truly unique, compelling and strangely life-affirming work of literary investigation. The perfect book to get you through the night.” — Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight

​

“Strauss brilliantly exposes the devilry in the details and makes the profoundly moving, self-inflicted end-days of the greats. A fascinating read.” — Michael Largo, author of Genius and Heroin
