MORBID CURIOSITY: Celebrity Tombstones Across America TM
A Fascinating Site About Celebrities, their tombstones, and their final moments.
Hey I think we have a bit of an Elvis related controversy
brewing...
Last week CNN and many other news sources announced that Al Dvorin, the
man who coined the phrase,
"Elvis has left the building.."
died in a car accident on August 23, 2004.
But on October 13, 2002 Horace Lee Logan passed away,
and he too they say, claimed the phrase.
Then you decide.
still worth the visit
please correct me if I'm wrong or have left someone out.
Don't be afraid, I'm quite gracious about accepting criticism!

Hey guys and girls of all ages!
I have some good news and some bad news.
First the bad....
I'm out of books, the only books I have left are returns
from the distributor. They are slightly creased in places but
still in very good shape. Then again I look at some of them and have to scratch my
head, 'cause they look fine.
The good news is....
You can get them CHEAP and Signed by me,
on Amazon.com under the used area:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/offer-listing/0970937210/qid=1093355778/sr=8-1/ref=xs_ap_bun1_xgl14_a//102-8091894-2984152?condition=all
Just copy/paste the entire above address to get there.
How cheap you may ask???? A never before $10.00!
That's a savings of $21.95!
Get them while they last! They're going fast!
Once they are gone that's it, you've missed
out on the opportunity to get a piece of
Morbid Curiosity history!
They are first edition collectables signed by the author.
Think about it. Don't be dopey go there NOW!
There's even some guy trying to sell a "USED" copy for
$57.69!
Second good news....
I'm currently negotiating with a publisher to put
out volume 1 and 2 so stay tuned for more information.
Also Volume 3 the European version is underway as we speak.....

Usually I don't put any dead non-celebrities on my site, but this time I'm going to make an exception. Jack Waite was a man that was sick with cancer, after extensive surgery he thought he had beaten the big "C." Unfortunately he was left with a malfunctioning body plagued with pain. Perhaps this illness prompted him to look closely at his own mortality and he purchased his own tombstone. After I added the "Me and my favorite tombstone" page he sent me three photos of his favorite tombstone, his own.
Due to his illness he rarely left the house. His constant companion was his computer and the people he emailed. I was one of those people. However we lost touch when I changed internet providers. A mutual friend of ours, Lynn Brecka wrote me on Christmas Eve to tell me that he had passed. As Jack was dying from a heart attack, he took the time to email all his friends to say goodbye.
I have chosen to add his obit to the page where his tombstones are and his good-bye letter and finally the three stories about Jack and his encounter with three celebrities: Jeanette MacDonald, Bing Crosby, and Boxer Jack Demsey. I was really amazed at the Bing Crosby story. Good old Bing didn't seem to be the nicest man.
Read all about it in
REST IN PEACE JACK, YOU ARE IN OUR PRAYERS.
