Eurydice is dead, and there's no rest in the Afterlife. The place is a college filled with classes like Hauntings, Controlled Baking Disasters, and Threads of Fate. When Eurydice was alive, she tried to find her voice in her music, in romance, and in her friends. While creating a suite of destruction that eventually led her to, well, being dead. Now, here among the shades (and newer, more ghostly, friends), Eurydice has to come to terms with the life she left behind: mostly in the enfant terrible boyfriend who put her here. The infamous Orpheus. Clever and brutal and hilarious, Jordan Kurella's novella is a mythic read. A finalist for the Nebula Award for Novella!
