Download As PDF : The Dead Club eBook Kate Rigby 
An edgy, contemporary tale about death and suicide and its effects on two families. Death is a fact of life for the principle characters and especially for Marina Reed who wishes to join her loved ones at ‘the dead club’, a place she and her sixth form friends obsessed about in their youth. Ultimately her mortido becomes more urgent until it takes her to the edge. The novel is in fact very much about edges where the ultimate edge is between life and death.
Multi-narrated in bite-sized sections in a colloquial style with elements of black humour and surrealism. A lot of it takes place along the iconic Devon railway line, passing through Dawlish and Teignmouth.
The Dead Club eBook Kate Rigby
THE DEAD CLUB is a contemporary read by Kate Rigby, dealing with the effects of death and suicide on two families. As advised this was not an easy book to read.NB - trigger warnings - deals with death and suicide.
There is a fine line between life and death.
Have you ever thought about death? I am sure you have.
The premise of this book revolves around a bunch of young people talking about suicide…and how would they do it. Would they make it painless, easy and fast like taking an overdose of pills or something slow and painful. like being in a car accident.
In later years, death becomes a fascination for a few of these characters, especially for Marina Reed, who wishes to join her friends that have passed on from The Dead Club.
This is a dark read mixed with black humor, the characters walk a fine line between life and death.
While I recognize that this is a difficult subject to address, I have to say that this book is not for everyone, and for those that have lost someone to suicide, it would be difficult to read. I can say that it made me more aware of the problem, and the effects of death and suicide on a family.

The Dead Club eBook Kate Rigby Reviews
On the edge of life and death, yes that's what this is about and it's written in short snippets, that at first, I had to get used to and "catch" up, but once I realized the style fit the story perfectly, I followed without any issue. Death becomes an obsession, as it effects the lives of the characters, some more than others. It's an intense read, with some great dark humor. Highly recommended.
This book is exactly what I have come to expect and love about Kate Rigby's work. Dark, edgy subject matter written with spiky black humour, interjected with the most brilliant, rounded and fascinating characters. The Dead Club starts with a group of young people discussing suicide, and how they would do it. The story then jumps forward to the present day, where a multitude of characters are dealing with life and death in different ways. It soon becomes apparent how Marina, one of the main characters is linked to the dead club of the past. What then transpires is a magnificent weaving of tales, past and present, and families. I particularly loved the first person poetic prose chapters from Zion's point of view. Just brilliant. Like all Kate Rigby books, I soon cared about these people, all of them, even the less likeable ones like Jim. This latest offering from the author did not disappoint in any way. I can't wait for more.
This is the second book that I have read by this author and I was certainly not disappointed. I love how Kate Rigby doesn't shy away from tackling quite dark, and often sensitive subjects. Although the subject matter is distinctly macabre (thoughts of suicide), the writing still remains classy and upbeat with a rather devilish touch of humour. The characters are wonderfully well developed and the prose is deep, thoughtful and incredibly insightful.
If you are happy to read about provocative subjects that are explored with sensitivity and daring then Kate Rigby could be just the sort of writer you are looking for. Be prepared to question some of your own established beliefs and to become heavily involved with the lives of many of the characters; even those you dislike. Independent, contemporary prose at its very best.
Many thanks to the author and TBC Reviewer Request Group (FB) for the digital copy of The Dead Club. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
It all started with one question ... How would you kill yourself?
The Dead Club starts with a group of young people talking about suicide and how they would ccomplish it. Poison? Sleeping Pills? Throwing one's self off a high building? Jumping in front of a moving train?
Death becomes an obsession for some of these young people.... and then they grow up. This is a story of how death and suicide affects two families.
This is a rather dark read with a bit of black humor thrown in the mix. The characters are a mixed bad of emotions that take them to an uneven balance of life and death.
I'm not sure I would recommend this to anyone who has lost someone to suicide, but it was an interesting take on what must have been a hard subject to tackle.
