Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon

[rachelmanija]

I am browsing a book on accidents in the Grand Canyon, blurbed by Tony Hillerman. It combines apparently solid reporting with extraordinarily melodramatic asides. I just now hit the section on incidents involving venomous creatures (very rare) which says people's fears of them are overblown and they shouldn't think of them as "death-slaves of the Grim Reaper."

Well, I hadn’t previously, but *now*...

Right? Now any time I see a picture of something venomous I'm going to have to tell it what an excellent death-slave of the Grim Reaper it is.
