Grief #[nn]

A white dove straining upward against tangles of barbed wire sets a quietly powerful tone for this 2018 anthology from Source Point Press — a cover image that says everything about the push-and-pull at the heart of the collection's title. Grief brings together stories by Frank Gogol alongside contributors Nenad Cviticanin, Kim Holm, Ryan Faust, Bethany Varni, Jey Soliva, Luca Bulgheroni, Ester P. Gil-Munilla, Emily Elmer, Sean Rinehart, and Dani Martinos, making it a notably collaborative exploration of a deeply human subject. At $14.99, it's a thoughtfully assembled volume that earned praise even at its 2018 release as one of the most impressive entries into comics its reviewer had seen.
