Abstract
This collection, and subsequent beginning of a novel, roots itself in the speculation and depths of when humans confront death in unique ways. Each story ruminates of the wonderment of loneliness, death, and family through each story. The collection starts in a town that has no graveyard, and ends in a similar place where local legends become real. Place and class struggles underscore each story. The characters in the collection interact with ghosts, robots, and, ultimately, their inner selves. A mix of horror, elements of fantasy, and sci-fi bind these stories together with high and low notes of optimism and grief, but always tonally dark at the edges.
