On April 10, 1912, the Titanic departed England, ultimately bound for America. It famously struck an iceberg on the way, and as the mighty ship went down, it took 1,500 people with it, most of them good-hearted, innocent people and notable pillars of society. But what of the jerks, losers, weirdos, and malcontents? Their stories — comical, fanciful, and completely hypothetical — shall be told in People of the Titanic: 30 Tales of Extra-Doomed Souls Who Sailed on the Ship of Dreams (ISBN: 978-1-954158-36-8).
Shawn Carlow brings to the surface the stories of 30 of the quirkiest, strangest, and most dangerous passengers on history’s most ill-fated ocean cruise. Revel in the fictional biographies of truly curious Titanic folks, such as the heroic mime who kept performing as the boat sank; the importer forced to choose between his passion for passion fruits and his dispassionate wife; and the Danish spiritualist whose “readings” confirmed that his rich customers’ opulent lifestyles would continue well into the afterlife.
