5.0

You Died is a moving and rewarding anthology in which grief, hope, and variations of eternal life are intertwined throughout each narrative. Every contributor provided a story with the wisdom, humor, or a combination of both, necessary to view death with less terror and more gratitude. Many of these contributors tackled difficult subject matter and formed stories of hope and resilience around them. Their art and writing was all skillfully done and made each work engaging and meaningful. I would definitely recommend this anthology to other readers. As I mentioned, there are potentially triggering elements in some of these stories, but they are each handled with the respect and warmth they deserve.
