I have always found this an odd notion, but were it not for the death of certain cells during our initial development, humans would be born with webbed toes. Death moulds our physical being from the very start of our existence. It sculpts us, determines how we begin, and where we end. The events in life that define us, that break us and remake us, all stem from death—the death of a place, a time, a relationship, of those we hold most dear, and finally ourselves. Death is the one inescapable aspect of life, the only immutable force, the single thing in this world that cannot and should not be changed.But death is never the end.It is the beginning.","author":"Hazel Butler","tags":["contemporary-fantasy","death","depression","gothic","gothic-fantasy","gothic-fiction","gothic-literature","paranormal-fiction","paranormal-mystery","paranormal-thriller","supernatural-mystery","supernatural-thrillers","urban-fantasy","urban-fantasy-series"],"id":60567,"author_id":"Hazel+Butler"},{"text":"Death drives desire.","author":"Rosemary A.

Unblinking, I watched the edge of the lake, waiting for it to reappear, but whatever it had been was gone, vanished under cover of a willow tree, lofty and dense, rearing over the lake, its branches dripping all the way to the ground. The tree’s lament had been transformed into a thing of such beauty I was tempted to go and hide within it.","author":"Hazel Butler","tags":["contemporary-fantasy","ghost-story","ghosts","gothic","gothic-fantasy","gothic-fiction","gothic-horror","gothic-literature","paranormal-fiction","paranormal-mystery","paranormal-thriller","supernatural-mystery","supernatural-thrillers","urban-fantasy","urban-fantasy-series"],"id":68163,"author_id":"Hazel+Butler"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":67,"pages":7,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
