"DEATH is the mother of BEAUTY" would make a great name for a book.

Will the ebook be available on Arkhaven at some point? Now that one can only license and not actually own kindle books from Amazon, I don’t want to purchase any more ebooks there.

No but it will eventually be available at NDM once it's no longer in Kindle Select.

Cats and tinsel. Oh dear, that brings back some memories. Thankfully, in our house a vet was not required, but one never forgets seeing the cat trailing a long strand of tinsel as it rampages around the wrapped presents.

Apologies if I missed this but what happened to Monster Control?

Death introduced himself to me when I was in Art School in Florence, Italy, in the winter of 2007. His sword was at his side and not in his hand, he had something to show me. Someday we’ll meet again and the sword will be in his hand, and I’ll smile. “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.”

“Jesus became like men and died so that he could free them. They were like slaves all their lives because of their fear of death.”

There's a special place in hell for people who mess up doing Death.

Vox shall not be there.

This looks fun. I never read anything from Neil Gaiman, but this reminds me of Terry Pratchett's Death character. I liked him.

“Just like a sexy Neal Gaiman without that whole rapey vibe.”

Priceless...

Is there another way I can buy the ebook? I'm limited to amazon.com.au and the book isn't available for purchase there.

Make sure you're searching on the Kindle Store and not Books. There is no print edition as yet. I just checked and the Kindle version is definitely available Down Under as well as via Kindle Unlimited.

I was looking in Kindle Books instead of the Kindle Store. Thanks for the correction Vox, much appreciated.

Yay! I've been waiting for this since Easter. I'm going to hold out for the hardcover though.

I have a lot of cliffhanger restraint from reading webtoons. I don't need to buy the ebook now. I can wait until Death is delivered free in goatskin.

His cat. How does Death have a pet cat? That's another tale.

Never thought anything could ever tempt me to want to get an e-book before reading the teaser. Supreme Dark Lord marketing agency when? Looking forward to the hardcover!

This is hilarious. "I WORK IN HUMAN RESOURCES" is my favorite part of the excerpt. Great work
