10 out of 10 people reading this will die.
Stefan Hunt was a successful film director, travelling around the world capturing beautiful stories and making new friends, a life one can only dream about. Then, at the age of 27, he became riddled with an anxiety that left him paralysed with fear and questioning his purpose. On the advice of a friend he decided to put pen to paper in search of relief, and out tumbled the five words which began a poem that led to his major epiphany- we're all going to die. Far from being a morbid thought, Hunt felt reassurance and inspiration when he accidently stumbled across life's only guarantee.
Written and illustrated by Hunt, We're All Going to Die takes on the immense task of exploring the meaning of life in the form of a Dr Seuss-esque book for adults. Pairing eloquent prose with whimsical illustrations, this picture book follows a conversation between fear and death asking you to look at the 'what ifs', the 'why nots' and the 'oh wells' that might flash before your eyes if Death were to pay you a visit. The result is a simple message- fear less and live more.
