The Book of the Dead

Contains conjurations, arcane rituals and gallows humour. It might just save you! - Kate SultrowWhere should we look for answers if we wish to better understand death? Scientists still haven'tcome up with all the answers, so maybe we shouldn't just sit waiting for the future to tell us.Perhaps we should look elsewhere, possibly back in time, closer to when it all began. We could doworse than start with the Book of the Dead (1550BC), which pre-dates the Bible, after all.This new collection brings together the writing talents of prize-winning fantasy author A J Dalton, JFMulvey (friend to gods, demons and cats), Isabella Hunter (Guardian of Altergarten), Michael Conroy(scion of the Ninth House), Steven Poore (Left Hand of Druthos the Great Drooler), Nozomi Okumura(disembodied dramaturge), Laura Jane Keating (Astral Handmaiden of First Elevation), JodieHammond (Chelsea fan), Marisa Mustafa (Seeker of the Lost Signpost) and J.McDonald (Canadian).Darkly delicious, absurdly amusing and soberly sombre! - Carl Rhinebeck
