Roby Snow has a job to do – he spends his time going from viewing to funeral and back again, helping families deal with the loss of their loved one, and coaxing them to eat. Especially he coaxes them to eat the special pie that Beverly Parsons makes. However, what happens if someone in the family has no appetite, or is dieting, or otherwise refuses to eat?This was a bizarre little story, and I really enjoyed it. We learn, slowly, exactly what is going on as the story progresses, and the characters are all well-defined. I was especially amused by the character of Buck, who was absolutely obsessed with tractors and other equipment of the sort, to an almost absurd degree. Recommended – check it out! A ridiculously quick read.I guess this is really a short story.And I couldn't write much about it or else it'll just give the whole plot away. I was expecting this to be more spooky than it really was, so now I'm a little bummed by the non-spookiness.But it's interesting to read about death, sittings and the food served in these sittings. The funerals and the sittings I've been to have no food involved...The ending, or when the whole interconnectness of things happening were revealed, then it raised the spooky levels for a bit, but nothing scary.Actually it's got me to thinking that this could be a series!
What do You think about Burial To Follow (2000)?
This was an interesting read, but not as captivating as some of Mr. Nicholson's other reads.
