For centuries, Death has kept a diary.
From the sands of ancient Egypt to modern hospitals, Death records the lives he witnesses and the lessons he never expected to learn. Kings, healers, warriors, philosophers, gods, and ordinary people all pass through his hands, each carrying fears, regrets, beliefs, and unfinished questions.
But Death is not the cold figure mythology promised.
He is inexperienced, sarcastic, burdened, and often uncertain. Through encounters with gods, spirits, and beings who understand the afterlife far better than he does, he slowly discovers that endings are rarely simple. Every culture sees death differently. Every soul believes their story matters. And sometimes, against his better judgment, Death begins to understand why.
Structured as diary entries spanning thousands of years, Diary of Death blends mythology, history, philosophy, and dark humor into an intimate exploration of mortality and meaning. Through wars, disasters, triumphs, and final moments, Death reflects on what it means to guide others onward while never fully understanding where onward truly leads.
Part historical journey, part philosophical meditation, and part supernatural memoir, Diary of Death asks a simple question:
What would Death write down... if no one was ever meant to read it?
