Hi hello, hilarious and so well orchestrated.
Mam and Bunko have died, and they didn’t pass over to heaven or hell, but rather “Cloud Six” a labyrinthian liminal space of sorts meant to keep its inhabitants wandering around aimlessly until they’ve reached their final form: a pile of bones.
Told from the pov of living and deceased characters, and heck even our author breaking the fourth wall, herself… Cloud Six is a comedic take on the afterlife that kept me giggling with every turning page.
I am so thankful to Catapult Books, and NetGalley for advanced access before this beauty hits shelves on September 22, 2026!!
