No Better Death
Summary: The morbid history podcast that knows while you can die no better death than your own, that doesn’t mean we can’t look for the unusual, the noteworthy, and perhaps even the comical in the deaths of others. Each episode we’ll take an in-depth look at some out-of-the-ordinary deaths, fatal events, and the details surrounding them. Hosted by Sick Grayson.

In this microsode, Sick reads his favorite poem, Thanatopsis by William Cullen Bryant. The word thanatopsis means a consideration or contemplation of death, and as such is a fitting poem for our show. It is written in a way that attempts to put the reader at ease with death and reassures us that we need not fear lonliness in death as everything that draws breath will surely die and end up in the same place.
This episode we look at the Six Flags New Jersey Haunted House Fire of 1984 and a few other amusement park disasters and Sick ruins a Gary Numan classic with his Yamaha.
