accompanied by lovely photographs \u2014 to illustrate why people visit cemeteries. With your support, Automatism Press will create the book as a full-color ebook, 8&#215;10 paperback, and as a hardcover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Genealogists and geocachers, travelers and tour guides, anthropologists, historians, pagan priestesses, and ghost hunters all venture into cemeteries in these essays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They discover that cemeteries don&#8217;t only provide a rewarding end to a pilgrimage, they can be the perfect location for a first date or a wedding, the highlight of a family vacation, a cure for depression, and the best possible place to grasp history. Not to mention that cemetery-grown fruit is the sweetest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spanning the globe from Iceland to Argentina and from Portland to Prague, Death\u2019s Garden Revisited explores the complex web of relationships between the living and those who have passed before<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CONTRIBUTING AUTHORS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cemetery writers\/Genealogists\/Historians: Anne Born, Barbara Baird, Carrie Sessarego, Carole Tyrrell, Erika Mailman, J\u2019aime Rubio, Jo Nell Huff, Joanne M.
