About the Book

Death in Etobicoke is an eclectic collection of humorous stories, which are clearly valued by intelligent readers with a keen sense of humour. That sounds like you, doesn't it?

In this book, journalist and best-selling author Scott Colby focused on two themes:

The first is how the tasty and tantalizing desires in life bring us the promise of great pleasure but can ultimately lead us to an untimely demise. But Colby reveals this in a very entertaining and hilarious way, of course. The beating heart of both the desire and destruction is the strangely alluring goth goddess, Lucy Fehr, whom our hero, Scott Colby, cannot resist. How many times must Colby fall for her enchanting, yet lethal, charms? Spoiler alert! Three, to be exact.

The second theme is that a healthy perspective to life is often earned by facing our fears and pushing through misery. Everything is going to be all right. Unless, of course, Lucy Fehr suddenly appears!

Please note that Death in Etobicoke was originally published in 2019 as Tales from the North Shore. The third instalment of the "Death in Etobicoke" trilogy has been revised for this edition.

"My friend and I are reading 'Death in Etobicoke' to each other, laughing our heads off. Actual tears. Best thing I have read in ages ..."
- Alexandra Gillespie, English Professor and Principal, University of Toronto Mississauga

"Shades of Stephen King, an undercurrent of Flannery O'Connor, wrapped in the best of Ray Bradbury, Scott Colby's 'Death in Etobicoke' takes us on a riveting romp through life's irreversible moments ... and 'then the visions begin.' I love this book!"

- Jerry Levitan, Producer of the Academy Award-nominated and Emmy-winning I Met The Walrus and author of the internationally acclaimed book of the same title

"It's a treat to read this book ... (The Thunder Bay stories) are laugh out loud funny."

"The book is beautiful. The way the narrator's curiosity and occasional expression of wonder at whatever revelations are at hand keeps giving the reader a sense that magic is just a word or two away."
- Charles Wilkins, author of international bestsellers, Paddle to the Amazon and After the Applause as well as The Circus at the Edge of the Earth, Walk to New York and In the Land of Long Fingernails.
