- David Malki ! is the author of the comic strip “Wondermark”, a gag strip created entirely from 19th-Century woodcuts and engravings, AKA a collaboration with the dead. In 2009, the Wondermark collection Beards of our Forefathers was nominated for the Eisner Award — the highest honor in comics — for “Best Humor Publication.” It’s possible that this was a clerical error. His voice can also be heard on the podcast Tweet Me Harder.

I can't even tell you how great these stories were. Seriously, a choose your own adventure Machine of Death Story? A brochure for how to talk to your 6 year old about their CODT (cause of death testing) experience from the Department of Homeland Security - genius.
There were also stories that were so sad and painful but still amazing and beautiful.
You know, the older I get, the more I love the short story format and these were all very good short examples of the genre.

This is the second anthology of stories (and some cartoons) featuring the Machine of Death. (The first, imaginatively enough, was called Machine of Death.) What is the Machine of Death? It's a mysterious device that, when provided with a blood sample, will tell you how you die. It's short on details, and its answers are sometimes ambiguous, cryptic, or downright misleading, but they're never, ever wrong. No matter what you do.
A lot of the stories in this one expand the original idea in new directions. Some put versions of the death machine into different historical periods, the far future, or alternate fantasy worlds. Others toy a bit with the question of how the machine works in the first place. There are several that deal with the idea of fake machines and quite a few that take the idea that a person's death prediction never changes and enjoy trying to find a loophole in it, while others continue to explore the questions of how individuals and societies respond to such a thing.
And my feeling about this volume is much the same as with the first one. Individually, most of these stories aren't necessarily incredibly well-written or interesting (although there some very good exceptions). But a whole kaleidoscope of different explorations and interpretations of this idea is truly compelling, more than enough so to keep me engaged through two fairly thick books.… (mehr)

What is life like when you know how you will die?
I enjoyed the first Machine of Death book, and I liked this one even more. These authors found a wide variety of ways to play with the basic concept, and set the stories stories in almost-as-diverse locations. Some of the stories are based on non-human characters, adding another layer of creativity to the endeavor.

Except for one story - where the prediction is exactly how the creature is going to end up... guess you'll just have to read the book to find out which one!… (mehr)
