A place has been kept for you. Clara Bell has not spent Thanksgiving at the family farmhouse in years. This time, she comes for answers about her brother Simon. Aunt Agnes has his sweater, his watch, and an explanation she insists on saving until dinner. The silver is polished. The relatives are smiling. The guest of honor has already been chosen. As Clara and estate appraiser Elias Reed uncover the family’s carefully recorded traditions, they discover that gratitude has a price—and even the hostess may be overdue. Follow twelve connected scenes of ritual, betrayal, and appalling hospitality, each paired with an intricate illustration to color. An adult coloring companion in Our Blasphemous Life, by Posthumous Anonymous. Lulu paperback edition: 44 pages, including the complete story, twelve coloring illustrations, and two blank production end pages. Clean coloring plates are printed on one side only. 8.5 x 11 inches, black and white on white paper. Ages 18+. Cannibalism, murder, threatened captivity, grief, and coercive family traditions.
