This is the tantalizing premise of This Is How You Die, the brilliant follow-up anthology to the self-published best seller, Machine of Death. The machines started popping up around the world. The offer was tempting: With a simple blood test, anyone could know how they would die. But the machines didn't give dates or specific circumstances - just a single word or phrase. And though the predictions were always accurate, they were also often frustratingly vague. OLD AGE, it turned out, could mean either dying of natural causes, or being shot by an elderly, bedridden man in a botched home invasion. The machines held on to that old-world sense of irony in death: You can know how it's going to happen, but you'll still be surprised when it does. This addictive anthology - sinister, witty, existential, and fascinating - collects the best of the thousands of story submissions the editors received in the wake of the success of the first volume, and exceeds the first in every way.

There are many ways to die, and the Machine of Death knows them all--especially the way that's going to claim you.

The machine's predictions are oblique, and frequently ironic: OLD AGE could mean dying in your bed at ninety, or being murdered by a disgruntled senior. Earlier this year, the Machine of Death team successfully Kickstarted a card game, due out in October, and this summer, they're back with a sequel to their first anthology. My name is Manisha; may I know your cause of death? She could barely keep her eyes open. She typed the word into her computer and waited for the stat sheet to appear.

But the idea of a morbid and somehow unethical machine, being the key in finding the solution to cancer and other previously incurable diseases was up lifting. It's like a cautionary tale for kids. It wasn't until Lester the detective was introduced that I started to get more interested in the story. Not a bad ending. Es un libro ligero en la lectura, entretenido y sangriento. Cause of Death card for their collection. Not sure why I see reviews stating this is just a slasher read full of gore. This is the tantalizing premise of This Is How You Die, the brilliant follow-up anthology to the self-published best seller, Machine of Death. I absolutely loved the narrator with this one. This was nothing like that.

In , an installment of the web strip Dinosaur Comics touted the conceptual perfection of a story about a machine that could predict, with unerring accuracy and a perverse sense of humor, how each individual user would die. People have been writing their own versions of that story ever since. Machine Of Death was smart and sophisticated.

This compilation of si-fy stories is a fun read. I liked this story so much that I didn't just read it - I devoured it!
