Published Posthumously
 
What does published posthumously mean? This means that the book was published after the author died. It may have been published a few days after the author’s death, or several decades later. This might be a full length book or part of a short story collection, a play, a work of poetry, etc. It might also be an unfinished work.

As a creative interpretation, you might choose an author who had a book published posthumously but decide to read one of their earlier works published while they were still alive.
