In his new book, DEAD, A Celebration of Mortality, Charles Saatchi confronts the inescapable subject of death, decay and mortality in a series of perversely entertaining essays written in his characteristically dry, sardonic and amusing style . The 52 essays span a wide variety of topics; the Russian mafia, snake eating spiders, Attila the Hun, The Wild West, being run over by your own dog , the most effective poisons, fatal curses, near- death experiences, premature burials, snuff movies and lethal sex.

About the Author
Charles Saatchi has been one of the moving forces of the modern age, one of the most significant figures in global advertising, and one of the most influential collectors of contemporary art, while contradictorily remaining a reclusive, even elusive figure. Saatchi was selected by the BBC as one of 60 "New Elizabethans" who have most influenced the past 60 years. His Saatchi Gallery has hosted 10 of the 15 most-visited exhibitions in London museums over the last four years, and is one of the five most popular museums in the world on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, with more than a million followers on each.
