There's a whole bunch of traditional ballads about dead lovers.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I like Aimee's title! It might be a little bit high-brow for the market, but ...

I was trying to think of something short and sharp, like ... Chill. Or something. But I came up empty.
Hmmm. I hate titles. I can title other people's books, no problem. My own, not so much.

I love it when the title of the book isn't explained in the text and I have to do outside research to find out how it relates to the overall message.

There's a revenant ballad named "The Unquiet Grave."
