Fort Worth writer Jonathan Shipley has never bought into "newer is better." Old houses, old furniture, and old portraits are his way of life, and like many collectors, he cohabits with more antiques than strictly fit into his house. He has had fantasy, science fiction, and horror stories published in dozens of magazines and anthologies, including SWORD & SORCERESS, volumes 25 through 29, and AFTER DEATH that won the 2014 Bram Stoker Award. However, he is actually a novel writer at heart and spends most of his writing time on a vast story arc that ranges from Nazi occultism to vampires to futuristic space opera.

How does the pacing of the story feel? When we first received the book, some of us at the book club were expecting for the some of the stories to be slow or uninteresting. We were wrong. Every story is able to captivate the reader even if it doesn't change his or her perception about death. Why woul...

What were the main relationships explored in this book? If someone commits suicide, society's first reaction is that the person was selfish. There is blame and in the case where death comes naturally no matter how old the person is, the sadness is still there. In some ways, this book is a reaction ...
