Day after day, we are inundated with the little idiosyncrasies that highlight the frustrating rat race of our daily existence. The times we have stopped to smell the roses and acknowledge our contributions have become ever smaller to the extent that we barely acknowledge there is more to this life than the daily grind. Unlike the rest of the world, Henri Colt understands this. He has been kind enough to draw us into his world where the appreciation of the little things becomes the acknowledgment of the obvious, which each day is a struggle between the decisions that dictate life and death. In 30 Stories About Life & Death, we discover a compilation of intriguing short stories that will give you a new perspective on life and the hereafter.

Henri Colt tells his stories like poetry, sometimes sounding like a lullaby highlighted by a certain dreamlike quality that makes you perceive the sheer dexterity of his storytelling abilities. He uses the less obvious details in the background to bring each story to life in a jarring fashion, making us contemplate what could have been if the story did not conclude so abruptly. Be it describing the details of a horrific car pileup or the reluctant passing of a loved one, Colt maintains an engaging aura that keeps you glued. His characters are diverse, but each brings a uniqueness to their story, which challenges you to think outside the box to discover their motivations. His impressive ability to transition effortlessly from the macabre to the cheerful is a note-worthy guarantee that you will not remain the same after reading 30 Stories About Life & Death.
