You Died
You Died: An Anthology of the Afterlife | Kel McDonald, Andrea Purcell
9 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
Death -- the one aspect of life we all have in common -- is waiting for everyone, yet our practices, beliefs, myths, and stories about it are as diverse as we are. YOU DIED celebrates these vibrant cultural expressions of the great equalizer in a thrilling, life-affirming whirlwind of a book, an inspirational volume to be treasured through times of both loss and abundance (and every day in between). At turns both brazen and insightful, morose and optimistic, YOU DIED asks a wide array of cartoonist newbloods and all-stars to relate their most unforgettable tales of death and what comes next. Filled with beautifully illustrated accounts of grief and mourning, ancient myths, memorial rites around the globe, afterlife in the far reaches of space, and the simple and touching ways both the living and the dead carry on, this lively collection starts a comforting and much-needed dialogue about death as a natural part of life. Featuring an introduction by death positivity movement pioneer and activist mortician CAITLIN DOUGHTY and a murderer's row of comics talent including RAINA TELGEMEIER, SHAE BEAGLE, and LISA STERLE.

Finished my June #DoubleSpin AND my first #BookSpinBingo since January 🤪 As with most anthologies there was a lot of good work here and some that I just didn‘t care for. Both heavy and light approaches to mortality in this collection. #JoyousJune

I haven‘t been great at follow through on the past couple of readathons I‘ve attempted so I decided to make a goal per day instead of a monster TBR. So today I want to aim for finishing this graphic anthology. Hope everyone is having a good weekend! #AwesomeApril

Andrew65 Great way to approach it. 😊 3y

This was a beautiful anthology. Tales of grief through the realities of death. I find myself drawn to the stories that complete the natural process as I look for my own purpose of living in a body on this earth. Many of these stories gave me a great comfort in my own personal journey of living to die. #deathpositive

I love specialty covers - and this glow in the dark one caught me by surprise. Wasn‘t expecting this appropriately creepy cover for this month! 🤩

Borrowed it from the library a bit ago and am now getting around to it.

I started this anthology on #netgalley, but saw it in the library and couldn't resist. It looks at death from many angles in fiction and non-fiction comics about losing loved ones, what it's like to die, and so much more. Would highly recommend! But grab your tissues because some of these are tear jerkers. Also, the forward is by Caitlin Doughty. (And the cover glows in the dark!) ⚰🥀💀
