First published 2013
Death speaks through twenty-one voices in this collection of horror stories. Each writer takes readers inside the Grim Reaper's world, from the moment Death first came into being to the intricate details of how mortals try to escape or become Death itself. The stories follow lonely individuals meeting their end, famous people facing mortality, and entire worlds dying. Some tales focus on Death's methods of collection, while others examine what happens to those left behind as they wait their turn. Children lose their innocence, survivors endure pain, and no one remains safe from the Reaper's reach. The collection moves between this world and the next, showing Death not as an abstract concept but as a living force with its own story to tell.
