Where Decay Sleeps

By Anna Cheung

Where Decay Sleeps lays 36 poems on the undertaker's table, revealing to us the seven stages of decay: pallor mortis, algor mortis, rigor mortis, livor mortis, putrefaction, decomposition and skeletonisation. Readers are summoned to walk the Gothic ruins of monsters, where death and decay lie sleeping.
