520 3 a| In folklore it is common to personify aspects of death as various creatures meant to assist in an understanding of the process. This novella uses three of these folkloric creatures from Norse and Irish folklore to force the point of view characters to confront aspects of how they are relating to death, with the titular character referenced in the novella's title functioning as a launching off point for discussing the other characters. This approach allows for the exploration of themes of regret and resentment that follow one into death, as well as themes of grief relating to an unwillingness to grieve for specific people, with the final chapter functioning as a resolution for the titular character.;
