Better Dead 

‘Better Dead’ by J. M. Barrie tells the story of a writer who finds himself as a probationary member of a secret society which engages in the murder of those in society it deems would be ‘Better Dead’. This book, at its core, tackles the difficult topic of struggling to find your place in life and how the pressures to fit in with your ‘group’ can push you to do things you wouldn’t normally dream of.
