Since humankind began, the certainty of death has made us ponder on the uncertainty of the unknown—the afterlife, spirituality, reincarnation and religion—all in an effort to explore and explain our reason for existing, living and dying.
Through Death’s Door features twenty-six diverse stories from authors around the world exploring the concept of death in all its intricacies, possibilities and sensitivities. We invite you to take a walk Through Death’s Door where you can explore haunted places, meet with murderers, and even revisit the legend that was David Bowie himself.
THE CONSIDERATE MAN SUICIDES, by Marcus Turner
Gordon had it all: good career, money, gorgeous wife and kids. But when his family unit falls apart and his life collapses into absolute despair, he contemplates ending it all. He sets his affairs in order and prepares to end his life, only for a surprise interloper to disrupt him – and by doing so, shows Gordon that the sum of his life – and the apparent hopelessness of it – may not be all he thought it to be.
