“Time is a Liquid” out in The Book of the Dead, October 6

Two copies of a hardcover book like on a teal and black cloth. The covers say THE BOOK OF THE DEAD edited by Jonathan Strahan and illustrated by Galen Dara. The cover has an image of a spooky ghost-like figure with trailing hair and smoke in front of a full moon. It has a skull face and roses in its hair. Perhaps it is a ghost bride. The silhouette of a headstone is in the background.

Behold this beauty! The Book of the Dead, a short fiction anthology edited by Jonathan Strahan and illustrated by Galen Dara, is out October 6. It includes my story “Time is a Liquid.”

“Time is a Liquid” is about the avalanche-like power of grief, and the unanalyzable, unquantifiable connection that remains when those we love have been claimed by death.
