From the Publisher:

Funeral of the Heart, Leah Hayes’ stylistic tour de force and graphic narrative debut, features a series of short stories illustrated entirely in the appropriately otherworldly medium of scratchboard

The uneasy rhythms of the prose perfectly captures the lives of obsessive, eccentric or unconventional characters who face their demons or try to solve the inexplicable riddle of their lives. Odd occurences, unnerving deaths, and an unorthodox but genuine love bind these characters and their stories together into a tapestry that speaks to the essential and diverse ways that people stay connected to each other.

The stories, hand lettered by the author, are juxtaposed against stark, highly stylized, graphically striking black and white images.
