I picked up this book on a whim during my last book shop visit and after it reading it, it feels like fate. its a powerful story of surviving grief and trauma unlike any other I’ve come across. as an adult, it can be really difficult to understand why things that happened in your early childhood happened at all. this book really captures all of those complicated feelings.

asks how much of yourself you can lose before you are lost”. this book had made such an impact on me. as i experience loss and grief for the first time in my life, marcken incredibly illustrates this strange spooky story of the perspective of the undead, and what thoughts and feelings arise within that world. tucked into 123 pages lies a story like no other story ive read before. this angelic yet haunting book must be read. if you want a confusing yet profound story that leaves you wondering wtf you just read, read this. and then read it again and again.

Just read this and cried slightly. A beautiful children's book by Sheila Heti about grief. Very pretty illustrations too.
My favorite quote: "Life is glad to have known all of the creatures who came here. Everything that has ever lived leaves their traces on the earth. And the heart keeps forever what it once loved".
