A NEW book for Six Feet Under Fans.
Take a sneak peak at the ultimate collection of artifacts from the Fisher Family...with a new preview every 2 weeks.
When I was thirteen years old, my sister Mary Ann was driving me to my piano lesson when she pulled out from a blind intersection into the path of an oncoming car. It slammed into her side of our 1973 Ford Pinto, breaking her neck and killing her instantly...
I have my sister's high school ring, and my father's pocketknife. I have letters she wrote me after she went away to college. I have a wallet, hand-stitched by him out of immitation alligator hide and lined with our kitchen wall-paper from the ealry 1960's...As Ruth Fisher says, "I'm surrounded by relics of a life that no longer exists." But relics are essential. What else do we have to remember someone by? What else can we do but touch something they once wore, made, wrote?...
This book is a collection of just such relics -- albeit fictional ones left behind by fictional characters, but to me, these characters are very real. I realize some might view this as as a form of madness, and they'd be right. I've been lucky enough to work with some equally mad people on this book -- people whose madness I greatly respect -- and in the process they have given me a deeper understanding of the Fishers and those with whom theor lives are and will always be inextricably bound."

Six Feet Under: Better Living Through Death
The rain had been falling in sheets all night. It was now three in the morning and the water in the cellar was ankle deep and getting deeper all the time. The distant sound of Nurse Caterwaul's terrible harpsichord playing and the oafish, appreciative grunts of her suitor, Miss Favisham, had been drifting down through the orphanage's ancient plumbing for hours, but suddenly the nightmarish music ceased and everything went silent. Nathaniel shivered, Isabel held him close and tried her best to comfort him.
"Surely Mother and Father will come to retrieve us soon?" Nathaniel asked. Nathaniel still believed that Mr. and Mrs. Davies would be returning from Norwich any day now. He still believed that their stay at Nurse Caterwaul's Blessed Home For Wayward Youths was temporary. Only Isabel knew the truth.
