On September 30th, 2026, the State of Tennessee gave Christa Pike two doses of pentobarbital. She survived both.The country was stunned, but states had been botching executions for nearly four hundred years. This book tells the true stories of eighty-one of them, from a hanging in Oxford in 1650 to a Nashville gurney in 2026.A young servant woke up on the dissection table. A trapdoor wouldn't open beneath the same man, again and again. The first man put in the electric chair was still alive after seventeen seconds of current. A seventeen-year-old in Louisiana survived the chair and was sent back to it a year later. An outlaw's head came off at the end of the rope. A man in Mississippi's gas chamber struck his head against a steel pole while reporters counted his moans. A flame rose from under the headpiece of Florida's chair. Execution teams hunted for veins for hours, and in Arizona a reporter counted about 640 gasps from one man on the gurney. Then came nitrogen gas and the firing squad.Every case on the Death Penalty Information Center's list of botched executions is here, along with the centuries of failures that came before anyone kept count. Each one is told through the witnesses, the court records and the states' own statements.More than 750 sources. Where the accounts disagree, you get both.Whatever you believe about capital punishment, this is the record of what happens when a state sets out to kill someone and gets it wrong.©2026 Darren Marlar (P)2026 Darren Marlar ノンフィクション犯罪 殺人 法律
