LOS ANGELES - s4story -- New Novel, People of the Titanic Offers Laugh-Out-Loud Tales Before Tragedy Sinks In
Laughter and Applause Greet the Most Famous Shipwreck in History

Los Angeles, CA (03-18-25) – The Titanic has a funny side. Giving this doomed ship a playful  poke in the ribs may seem a bit off. Insensitive, maybe. Not at all, says stand-up comedian, Shawn Carlow, author of People of the Titanic, a novel that tells hilarious stories of the quirkiest, strangest, and most dangerous passengers on history's most ill-fated ocean cruise.

Published by Humorist Books, People of the Titanic will be released Tuesday, March 18, 2025.

"I find it a subject that's inspiring to me and ripe for exploration. Yes, it's a tragedy, but it's also fun to imagine a lighter side," states Carlow. "I read a lot about it over the years, thoroughly fascinated by it. The ship had it all -- all classes and kinds of people – and it represented the hopes and dreams of so many of them."

People of the Titanic is already receiving advance praise from Carlow's colleagues in the comedy writing profession. Here're a couple of comments:
