Description

or How safe are you from burning?


In 1986, an evangelist in Vienna exploded into flames as he preached a fire-and-brimstone sermon. And the Bible in his hand wasn't even scorched. In this intriguing book, Michael Harrison considers the problem of spontaneous human combustion with wit precision and a certain Edwardian style that makes this into a thorough going study of a phenomenon that is weird and rare-but very real.
