"There are ghosts, and then there are hauntings - an empty room, a ravaged garden, a bodiless presence, a secret never spoken out loud. They linger, uninvited and unshakable, in the mind. This collection of uncanny happenings, disappearances, and disturbances is an invitation to explore the inexplicable: the steadfast grip of fear, regret, longing. When you glance over your shoulder, what stares back? When you're no longer here, what will remain? With an introduction and original short story by director David Lowery (A Ghost Story, The Green Knight, Mother Mary), Make Sure You're Around After You've Gone gathers a range of voices from across the world-past and present, beloved and unexpected-including: Chris Adrian Nalo Hopkinson Pemi Aguda Shirley Jackson Dan Chaon Violet Kupersmith Mariana Enriquez E.
