Why this must be read:prudence_dearly is an extremely talented writer, one who has a fairly wide range, spanning angst to humor to just plain weird (Nightmare Before Christmas/due South crossover, anyone?). The same holds true for her characters; she's written a little of everything.
These three snippets, linked only by character and theme, are a painful exploration of death and dying. In spite of their shortness, these stories are packed with emotion and insight into the way we try to deal with the death of someone we love.prudence_dearly delicately explores a difficult subject than many of us have too much experience with.
