In the late 19th century, demand for fur was in sharp decline. This could have spelled economic disaster for the venerable Hudson's Bay Company. But an idea emerged in political and business circles in Ottawa and Montreal to connect the disparate British colonies into a single entity that would stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific. With over 3,000 kilometers of track, much of it driven through wildly inhospitable terrain, the CPR would be the longest railroad in the world and the most difficult to build. Its construction was the defining event of its era.

For the first time in Canadian history, a high-ranking Mafioso agreed to break the code of omertà by talking to journalists. From October 2014 to October 2019, Félix Séguin and Eric Thibault held multiple secret meetings with Andrew Scoppa, getting an exclusive inside look at the inner workings of the North American Mafia. This book is the culmination of their perilous investigation. It sheds light on the life—and death—of one of the most influential organized crime figures in recent years.

Cold blooded murders, fatal family dramas, and a spectacular robbery. It's no secret that "True Crime" is not for the faint-of-heart. These true and authentic criminal cases tell the stories of people known to us - friendly neighbours, devoted parents and/or loving partners. This book is about the people behind their bourgeois façade, where unspeakably deep human abysses exist that nobody, not even those closest to them, would have thought was possible.

I start all of my true crime books with a quick word of warning. Most news articles and television true crime shows skim over the vile details of truly horrible crimes. In my books, I don’t gloss over the facts, regardless of how disgusting they may be. I try to give my listeners a clear and accurate description on just how demented the killers really were. I do my best not to leave anything out. The stories included in these books are not for the squeamish.

Description
Exploring Toronto’s history through the stories of its most fascinating and shadowy deaths.
If these streets could talk....
With morbid tales of war and plague, duels and executions, suicides and séances, Toronto’s past is filled with stories whose endings were anything but peaceful. The Toronto Book of the Dead delves into these: from ancient First Nations burial mounds to the grisly murder of Toronto’s first lighthouse keeper; from the rise and fall of the city’s greatest Victorian baseball star to the final days of the world’s most notorious anarchist.
Toronto has witnessed countless lives lived and lost as it grew from a muddy little frontier town into a booming metropolis of concrete and glass. The Toronto Book of the Dead tells the tale of the ever-changing city through the lives and deaths of those who made it their final resting place.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Adam Bunch has hit upon the clever idea of recounting the stories of dead men and women who once lived in Toronto to bring the history of our patch to vivid life.” (Toronto Star)
“Adam Bunch has compiled one of the most fascinating Toronto historical books ever - I never knew how much I wanted to know how local residents have met their demise. Let’s update the city’s motto to 'Dying Morbidly Our Strength'.” (Matthew Blackett, Publisher of Spacing magazine)
“Sometimes gross, always engrossing, Bunch weaves well-known Toronto histories with those that should - and thanks to Bunch’s efforts - will be better known. With compelling storytelling and evocative geographies, The Toronto Book of the Dead brings Toronto’s history uncannily to life.” (Daniel Rotsztain, author of All the Libraries Toronto)

Interesting
I found the book interesting. I grew up in the town north of Toronto, but I don’t really know much history on it. I think the author did an excellent job on the subject matter because I find Canadian history can be boring, but this wasn’t.

Book of the Dead is the history of the living
Don’t be fooled by the title. This isn’t a typical true crime story, or even a ghost story (though there are a couple of those in the book). This is a deep dive into the people who made Toronto what it is today, and they just happen to all be dead. I’ve lived in this city my whole life, but I didn’t know any of these stories. It was fascinating to hear the history of places that I pass by every day.

amazing stories!
I loved every minute of this book! not only did I learn some very cool history about TO, I learned some history about the neighborhood I grew up in. I had NO idea it used to be a barracks for 3000 French soldiers during the Beaver Wars. I recommend to anyone and everyone who loves history

Fantastic history stories of a place I call home.
If you visit Toronto you need this information. It’s a great perspective on our shared history, that will have you exploring parts of the city you’ve never seen.

Fantastic and fascinating
This was a really fascinating and beautiful exploration of the history not only of Toronto, but also Canada and, in a way, the world. I really deeply valued the focus on stories that are less told, and the abiding interest shown in the text of not treating the past as sacred. Rather, history is treated as a time that happened, full of human beings in all their messy, difficult, complex glory. A truly excellent book, I cannot recommend it enough!

I couldn’t get enough
I loved this book so much. I’ll definitely be listening to it again at some point. It was so engaging, the histories and tales written so aptly and the authors reading is the absolute cherry on top. Honestly one of the best history books I’ve read. It has opened up the treasure trove of Toronto’s history to this history nerd.

Way more interesting than I expected!
This was a surprisingly good listen. I’m Canadian, but not a Torontonian, so I wasn’t sure how much I would enjoy this book, but it contained a lot of broader history, both of Canada and the world.

The best history book I have ever read or heard
As a journalist, I was always taught to "show, don't tell." Too many history books tell us what happened without offering the reader any way to picture the events as they unfolded. Military histories in particular often read like the author is simply reciting a list of dates and places, the military units involved and the number killed and wounded, then on to the next battle. Adam Bunch's account of history makes the reader/listener feel as if they were actually there to witness the events. Speaking personally as a volunteer photographer for Find A Grave and a member of several historical and genealogical societies, this is just up my alley. If I could give it six stars I would.
