The chilling tome that launched an entire genre of books about the often gruesome but always tragic ways people have died in our national parks, this updated edition of the classic includes calamities in Yellowstone from the past sixteen years, including the infamous grizzly bear attacks in the summer of 2011 as well as a fatal hot springs accident in 2000. In these accounts, written with sensitivity as cautionary tales about what to do and what not to do in one of our wildest national parks, Lee H. Whittlesey recounts deaths ranging from tragedy to folly-from being caught in a freak avalanche to the goring of a photographer who just got a little too close to a bison. Armchair travelers and park visitors alike will be fascinated by this important book detailing the dangers awaiting in our first national park.

      In the first audiobook in the genre of cautionary books about major national parks, which include OVER THE EDGE: Death in Grand Canyon and OFF THE WALL: Death in Yosemite, Whittlesey chronicles the more than 300 deaths in Yellowstone. As he focuses on the gruesome and foolhardy, Stephen Thorne, a veteran performer with a clear tenor voice, does everything in his power to salvage the compendium of tragedy. Still, it's easy to imagine a disgruntled teenager sharing this in the car or on the trail to darken a family vacation. Thorne carries the listener through at a well-measured pace. He seems at home with Yellowstone's sometimes-challenging place names and never seems to lose interest. F.C. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
