A Review of Caitlin Doughty's 'Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?'
October 25, 2019

Over the past several years as Doughty, has continued to travel the world to give talks and educate folks on the wonders of death, she found that her favorite part of these talks came in the Q&A portion.

It really didn't seem so hard.
