This week on 7 Minutes in Heaven, Chris explains the unique(ly messed up) concept of Alpine Divorce. Originated from a short story by Robert Barr, the term has a new horrible exemplar in the form of the late Kerstin Gurtner, left to die by her at-best-negligent boyfriend, Thomas Plamberger on a mountain trail. Was this a sad tale of a tragic hiking mishap or could it be… MURDER? Tune in to find…
It should surprise noone that here at Death is Everything we are decidedly pro-Witch.

Then we hear about animals and their relationship and potential for…
Clowns are known for being bearers of mirth and joy. This week on 7 Minutes in Heaven, Marianne recounts the tale of one clown who was instead a gateway to despair and death in the form of the Yarmouth Bridge Disaster. Or maybe this was the Clown Agenda all along, for who knows what lurks beneath that caked on makeup, comically large shoes, and devious red nose? Something nefarious, that’s what I…
Ahh, childhood. For many of us, our early years can be seen as a time when the weight of the world had not yet been hoisted onto our collective shoulders.
