A book held by Satan, containing a list of all the names of the hell-bound, and breifly held by my friend Richard Gray, in year 6.
Curiously enough, my name was the only one to appear in the book, before the Devil had got bored and filled the other pages with squiggles.

You call that a death book? ( them’s fighting words - jamie ) Richard Burns’ dad was a forensic scientist, and one day Richard smuggled one of his dad’s books into school. It featured full-colour glossy photos of atrocities. These were way, way beyond the coping abilities of the dozen or so 12-year-olds who clustered innocently around to look. I remember a stab victim with multiple wounds, a shotgun-in-the-mouth suicide, a woman who’d died in the bath from loss of blood during an attempted DIY pregancy termination, and a guy who’d had a heart attack and fallen chest-first onto a circular saw.
Now that’s a death book.
