Stories After You Die, My Love is a hauntingly beautiful collection of ten interconnected short stories that explore the fragile boundary between life and death, grief and memory, love and the eternal unknown.
Told in lyrical, dreamlike prose, each story follows someone who has lost a loved one and finds themselves haunted-not by terror, but by tenderness. From a room that reshapes itself to hold memories of the dead, to clocks that stop at the moment of loss, to letters that wash ashore from the beyond-these stories dwell in the strange, sacred space where the dead are gone, but not forgotten.
Through voices of the living and the possibly deceased, Alden Blake delivers a meditation on grief that is both deeply human and quietly mystical. At the heart of every story is a singular, unnamed "you"-a lost love who lingers in the shadows of every page.
For readers who cherish poetic realism, philosophical fiction, and emotionally layered storytelling, Stories After You Die, My Love is a tender, aching exploration of what it means to keep loving someone after they're gone.
