Praise for Encyclopedia of the End:
"This stylish A-to-Z encounter with all things related to death and dying shows Noyes, a Candlewick editor, at her liveliest, starting with the quotations from the infamous deceased which appear on the endpapers. Addressing topics as far-ranging as 'Genocide,' 'Goth,' and 'Spirit Photography'... the author offers a broad illumination of spiritual, historical, and biological aspects of death. Photos, paintings, and engravings in homage to 'the end' make the book dynamic visually, too. Readers will be struck by the breadth of information provided in a single entry, as well as by the way the entries speak to one another, forming a cohesive whole. But what may please readers the most is Noyes's welcome neutrality: the only agenda here is in the service of knowledge." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
