A book club for the morbidly curious. We will explore dark topics such as true crime, natural disasters, war stories, death and dying, manmade disasters, forensic science, burial and funerary practices, and cults. 

December's book is Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital by Sheri Fink 

"After Katrina struck and the floodwaters rose, the power failed, and the heat climbed, exhausted caregivers chose to designate certain patients last for rescue. Months later, several health professionals faced criminal allegations that they deliberately injected numerous patients with drugs to hasten their deaths. Five Days at Memorial, the culmination of six years of reporting, unspools the mystery of what happened in those days, bringing the reader into a hospital fighting for its life and into a conversation about the most terrifying form of health care rationing."
