Anxiety about death is common, but how do we reconcile it?
After two difficult familial deaths, that is the question Elizabeth Zarb wanted to answer when she set out to write A Meditation on Mortality. These sixteen flash-fiction stories cover different aspects of death and the afterlife with heart and humor – the way Zarb does best. From accidents to murder, ghosts to the family members left behind, this collection aims to view death as more than just a serious thing, but rather a natural part of life in order to soothe the author’s own anxieties. She hopes it does the same for you.
