The Dead Hand Book: Stories from Gravesend Cemetery

By Sara Richard

The Dead Hand Book is a memorial to mortality and the ancestral liaison with death through quiet and sweetly-macabre short stories. The collection of fables is inspired by the manner those long gone have had their memories engraved onto slate and marble stones with the cadence of an old Folk song or Murder Ballad. Tales of warning, the deepest loves honoured by surviving paramours and the indifferent cruelty of life in the 17th-20th century are all recorded in the Dead Hand Book.
