The mortician, YouTube star, death-positivity icon and funeral industry activist brings us to the heart of dead-body darkness: the Titanic

It's the most famous shipwreck in history and inspired one of the most successful films of all time - but there's a side to the Titanic you've never seen before.

In Dead in the Water, internationally bestselling author and mortician Caitlin Doughty (author of From Here to Eternity) delves beneath the waves to tell the story of the shipwreck through the deaths, lives and afterlives of the people intertwined with its fate. From white-knuckle accounts from the night of the sinking to the tale of the ill-fated Titan submersible, Doughty offers a captivating and original take on one of the most compelling stories in history.

With the empathy, humour and tenderness for which she is renowned, Doughty shares surprising details of death at sea - including the science of cold water decomposition, the history of sea burials and the story of how the Titanic disaster led to mass casualty protocols still used today - while exploring how we face the void and accept (or refuse to accept) death in extreme conditions.
