You Are But Dust
Most people fear Death. But Samarra feels safest by his side.ย
Grief is drowning Samarra's mind. Her sister's death was too sudden, too senseless. No one will even speak of the night she died, leaving Samarra silenced and alone. That is, until she comes face-to-face with Death himself.
Most people fear Death. But Samarra feels safest by his side.
Grief is drowning Samarra's mind. Her sister's death was too sudden, too senseless. No one will even speak of the night she died, leaving Samarra silenced and alone. That is, until she comes face-to-face with Death himself.
With piercing white eyes, a sharp grin, and a voice that sedates her fractured mind, Death is more comforting than anything she has ever known. He quiets her grief, whispers truths about her sister's final moments, and tempts her with the vengeance she craves. But he vanishes as suddenly as he appeared.
Alone in her chaotic life, Samarra is suffocating. Her mother is absent, her friendships are crumbling, and violent thugs are hunting her. She doesn't know if Death was real or a hallucination of her unraveling mind. All she knows is that she needs to feel his peace again.
And she'll do whatever it takes to bring him back.

About the Author
Hannah Clayton lives in Manchester, UK. By day, she supports people's mental health while completing her doctorate in clinical psychology. By night, she writes unsettling psychological thrillers, fuelled by her fascination with the human psyche. This passion led to the creation of her novels 'Until the Shadows Lengthen' and 'You are but Dust,' which explore the power of our minds to both save and destroy us.
Drawing on her clinical psychology work, Hannah has witnessed both the darkest struggles and the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit. Through her novels, she explores this delicate balance, portraying the shadows that follow us all as well as the glimmers of hope that light our way.
