I picked this up from my school's library because I thought that maybe reading these would help me feel a little bit better about death, it's something that is so scary to me that I used to have minor anxiety attacks as well as one massive panic attack. After that panic attack, I stopped experiencing attacks (thank god) but the fear has never gone away.
some of these comics made me cry. but all of the stories (except for two that I honestly just didn't understand) were so beautifully written. I love how they all weren't about the same thing. some involved cultural versions of death and funerals. others were about the fear of death. some were about people who had already accepted death. I think that variety was really nice.
the art styles are also so beautiful and I'm definitely going to be looking into these artists and authors.
I actually think these stories did help me feel a little better. I do kind of want to own my own copy now, which is something I didn't think I'd ever say about a book about death.
