My Opinion
You Died - An Anthology of Afterlife by Andrea Purcell & Kel McDonald is a nice collection of stories on a vey different subject, Death. I liked some of the stories from the book. My favorites are Innana's Descent Into The Underworld by Ahueonao and What Eats Us by Letty Wilson. The stories have optimism, faith, fear of loss and grief. But, I could not connect to some of them. The authors have a beautiful message for the readers that Live Your Life To Full Before Death Comes.
But, I felt that some stories were incomplete. So, I could only give it 3 stars. Thanks to Netgalley for giving me an opportunity to read the book.
Graphics
I have read many graphic novels earlier with impressive graphics. But, I did not like the graphics in this book.
