Inhaltsangabe

'If the population of the world had vanished while I was reading Nial Giacomelli's beautifully observed novella, I'm not sure I would have noticed. It's that good.' -Christopher Stanley

A strange epidemic is sweeping the globe. Little by little, its victims become transparent, their hearts seen beating away behind visible rib cages. Then that fades, leaving an intricate network of nerves hanging in mid-air. Finally, the victims disappear entirely.

As the nation debates where their missing loved ones might be and then, as the epidemic spreads, panic and flee, one couple decide to remain at home. Something is keeping them there, something bigger, but what it is will haunt the reader forever.

READER REVIEWS

'Blown Away'

'An absorbing story of grief, loss, and guilt'

'Beautiful, haunting'

'Told in breathtakingly beautiful prose, this is at once a haunting study of grief, a post-apocalyptic dystopia, and ghost story of sorts.'
