How High We Go In The Dark is a collection of short stories set in the same post-pandemic universe that perfectly weaves together themes of grief, love, community, and perseverance. It would be a perfect five-star read, except that the stories seemed to loose cohesion in the second half of the book. The first half, however - perfection!  "30,000 Years Beneath a Eulogy", "City of Laughter", "Through the Garden of Memory", "Pig Son", and "Songs of Your Decay" were all wonderful to read and connected to each other in interesting and meaningful ways.
