Helena's Jar: Illustrated Edition

By Shandy Lawson

A fisherman has lived in relative peace with his closest island neighbor, Death, for most of his life. But when Death fails to uphold his part of a long-held agreement, the fisherman must decide how far he is willing to go to restore his world—if he's able—to what it once was.
This short horror-parable is beautifully illustrated in watercolor and ink by French artist Nicolas Gilormini.
