From Brian McDonald, an expert on the narrative arts, comes a remarkable non-fiction graphic novel about the art of storytelling.

There is wisdom in the land of the dead, for it is the place that all stories lay to rest. And what is a story, if not a simulation of survival?
Wielding his massive experience from film, tv, comics, and more, Brian McDonald lays out a history of storytelling and shows the reader how the best tales tug at our truest biological instinct: the need to survive. Readers will see how different forms of survival--physical, emotional, spiritual--inform the arc of character development in a way that makes them more complex and compelling. And how plot and circumstance must then force your protagonist to meet their worst nightmare. Toby Cypress's electric art guides the reader through the underworld, visualizing each narrative masterpiece, and bringing the ideas to life.

Whether you're in film, books, comics, or simply a story enthusiast, this book offers a way to see character development and the crafting of plot through the lens of human questions of morality and mortality.

Amazing cream to restore cracked skin!!
Item Package Quantity: 1
Cracking of my feet is not the problem. This has been the only cream I found that restores my cuticles!! My right thumb constantly stays dry and ugly. The convenience of applying like a ChapStick is wonderful. and allows me to grab and apply frequently. My cuticle has finally become soft and pretty. :) (Highly recommend)

Best Foot Cream I’ve Ever Used!
Item Package Quantity: 1
This is honestly the best foot cream I’ve ever used! My feet are incredibly smooth, and my heels look like they’ve never been cracked. I’ve struggled with dry heels before, and this made such a noticeable difference. Highly recommend!

Miracle
Item Package Quantity: 1
I wish I had before and after photos, my feet are in much better shape after using this. I still need to work on them more but I ran out pretty quickly but my feet were dry af. I used to “shave” my feet once a month this is the power of foot filing in a stick. I will never foot file again. I need to find a way to make it last longer but I think I will not need as much now that my feet are in better shape. Iykyk, get this. It’s greasy as all hell but it’s easy to apply and you can do it over a towel and then put socks on immediately before bed. I wish it was a bigger stick but it is not too pricy so it’s worth it.
