Description
True stories of death and desperation
One survivor chooses loneliness.
One chooses exile.
One chooses oblivion.
Some have violent tendencies, ruining lives indiscriminately.
Some seal their own fate in slow motion; others do so in the blink of an eye.
In The Survivors, award-winning true-crime writer Steve Braunias retells twelve mysteries of human nature - unusual stories of how people choose to survive their own lives, and their decisions, desires, impulses... and failings.
