A hauntingly beautiful new novella from USA Today bestselling author Cassandra Khaw, in which a young woman wakes up one day and finds the black dog of death at her front door.
Antigone can see death coming. It always takes the form of a black dog, nipping at the heels of the soon-to-be-departed.
When Antigone's own black dog appears on her doorstep, she isn't frightened. In fact, she welcomes her death inside, and it quickly becomes her closest companion. Having death at her side is almost a comfort. But it also forces Antigone to reckon with the life she's lived.
Sometimes we live best when we're dying.
