Or... you know... people who don't understand why anyone would want skeleton snail mail. I guess they probably exist.
Promising review: "I've gotten four of these boxes so far and am looking forward to my next one! I received a chinchilla skull this month! The skulls and other beautiful surprises have been quality additions to my home month after month. This is such a creative and thoughtful subscription box!" —Shannon

Your caffeine content will still depend on how you brew, but if you use these beautiful beans you'll get about 660 milligrams per 12 fluid-ounces.
Promising review (for mug): "This mug is great quality and looks just like picture." —Michaela
Promising review (for coffee): "Ok folks words of warning....if you have heart conditions, ration out your coffee. I'm serious; heed my warning or you could end up cleaning your entire house, doing all your yard work, making love to your partner, waxing your car, building a garage, or single handedly raising the Titanic on your own; all in the first hour after drinking this wonderful coffee. You have been warned!" —ITsTheXFactor

"I've read this book cover-to-cover twice and can fully confirm the rave reviews; this is laugh out loud funny. Yeah, you read that right. Sure, it's grim and gruesome. But it manages to be equally light. I'd call it a brilliantly written beach read, if you're into reading about what happens to people whose hearts have stopped beating while you're on the beach." —Mallory
Get it from Amazon for $9.08.
"Yet another piece from this post that I own, this coloring book is a delightful way to de-stress if you enjoy learning about the most stressful details of criminal cases. Each page is illustrated with specific objects based on the killers' unique personalities and evidence found at the scenes of their crimes. I listened to podcasts and videos of each murderer while I colored in their picture, which is something I only recommend doing if you have a strong stomach." —Mallory
Get it from Amazon for $7.92.
Get it from Creepy Candles of Etsy for $29.95.
Promising review: "The quality looks and feels good — there’s a nice weight to the spoon. It doesn’t feel cheap and light. The letters and skull and bones are definitely and obviously etched, not painted on. Now I need to buy another so my kids don’t fight over this one." —Jasper Penn
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
Get it from Pandora Witch Shop on Etsy for $60 (available in five sizes) or get a less expensive board from Amazon for $17.99.
"This was on my to-read list awhile after seeing it in one creepy book list or another — at this point I can't even keep track — and it was super interesting to learn about all sorts of stuff like crowds for public executions, fictionalized plays of true crime as the actual trails happened, the rampant fear of arsenic poisoning when in reality it happened so infrequently, and all kinds of things that led to obvious connections as to why so many of us (including me and Mallory!) are obsessed with true crime." —Elizabeth

Promising review: "These prints are HILARIOUS! People laugh at the sight of them and my kids get a giggle every time they use the bathroom. It fits my bathroom theme perfectly. (We've got a 'Enjoy your poop' sign up, and lots of Calvin & Hobbs and Far Side comics to read. If anyone is in there too long, I know why. 😎" —L. T.

Promising review: "This was the final finishing piece to my horror bathroom! It's perfect (except I love it too much to use it for its purpose; I keep it in the bathroom for a decoration because it's too cool)!" —Keri Kowski
Get it from Amazon for $32.90.
"Elizabeth and I couldn't wait to get our hands on a copy of this book when it was released. I currently have it sitting on my desk at work, warning anyone who wants to talk of the direction a conversation with me will take. It's true that each image is incredibly eerie, but they are also truly fine art. The artists who created it spent years mastering their skills to create the masks, costumes, and makeup and traveled the world to photograph in locations that best represent each brilliantly dark story." —Mallory

"Thou know'st 'tis common; all that lives must die..."
This is a brilliantly brutal card game for Shakespeare fans and anyone who wants to out-gloom their friends (if you think you don't like Shakespeare but love dramatic deaths, he might still be the guy for you). To play, each person must deal cards with the most dramatic moments like who uttered the greatest last words or who suffered the slowest, most tedious death? Points are also scored for gore and brutality, piteousness, and speed of death.

"Hey! It's me again! Here to talk about another book that's sitting on my Death Desk. This one is chuck-full of stunning pieces of art, all gloriously gory and grim. The diverse range of artists featured in this will give you a fair sample of styles within this super satisfying theme. Just be aware, the anatomical blob sculptures are *gulp* a lot." —Mallory
Get it from Amazon for $43.87.
"We should have just called this post 'Things On My Desk' because guess what? This is also on my desk! This print is incredibly high quality. I have it sitting upright on a small tabletop easel and it's sturdy enough it has never blown down, despite being underneath an air vent. The paper is clearly handmade and the print is signed. I really dig this piece." —Mallory
Get it from Print Is Dead on Etsy for $18.17.
Get it from Grandin Road for $99.
"It's true, I went to the Museum of Death in New Orleans during a recent trip there, and it was everything I hoped and wish for. If you're reading this story, then yes you should go! Just don't eat anything *right* beforehand. And in case you're wondering, I have this shirt." —Elizabeth
Get it from Museum of Death for $20+ (available in sizes S-XXXL).
Get them from Foxblood Shop for $60 (available in sizes 6, 7, 10, 11; also in black letters).
"OK, so this has been on my to-read list for the longest time after I saw some press Caitlin got upon its release. This seems like the definition of mine and Mallory's shit." —Elizabeth
Promising review: "I have worked in pre-hospital for most of my adult life and have had many patients that I've witnessed die. While I know about the process of death, as an American I didn't know what happened after death (hold on, I'm not talking about paranormal stuff here, I'm talking about funeral-type of stuff). The way that I saw it was that I attempted to treat the patient, they didn't make it and died, and it's all over for me when I sign the paperwork. In reality there is a great deal more that follows. As an American, we are taught NOT to talk about this process; however, it's a part of life and if you look at death as a part of life, 1) you will be less afraid of death and 2) it can actually bring you closer to other cultures and see that your not that different after all. Ok, with the exception of removing a loved one from the grave, dressing them up, and inviting everyone over for a meal with the deceased to honor the deceased. Please don't misunderstand my comment — I'm not saying that it's wrong, what I'm saying is that it's different. Ms. Doughty had the privilege and honor to experience it and I learned a lot. She's a great author (this is where someone would say, 'she made me laugh, she made me cry...' but it's true. I hope that she writes a third book soon. Read it, you will love it." —Kevin Dorst
Get it from Amazon for $9.59+.
Welp, that reviewer will be GLAD TO KNOW that Caitlin did write a third book, Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?: Big Questions from Tiny Mortals About Death.
