EP 1,269B - Dr. Alker transforms decades of ER experience into a fast-paced collection of real medical stories and science-backed survival advice

Every day, emergency physician Dr. Ashely Alker faces the question we all secretly wonder: How am I most likely to die—and what can I do to prevent it? In her debut book, 99 WAYS TO DIE: And How to Avoid Them (St. Martin’s Press; January 13, 2026), Dr. Alker transforms decades of ER experience into an unforgettable, fast-paced collection of real medical stories and science-backed survival advice. Dr. Ashely Alker is a self-described death-escapologist--or, in more familiar terms, an emergency medicine doctor. She has seen it all, from flesh-eating bacteria to the work of a serial killer to the more mundane but no less deadly, and her work keeping people from dying (or being unable to) has uniquely prepared her to write this book.
