Meet your travel companions

Eternity is better
with company.

Especially if someone else handles the reservations.

Death

A skeletal gentleman, a devoted husband, and an optimist when it comes to itineraries. His work tends to follow him.

Hel

Queen of the underworld. Half living, half dead, and entirely capable of deciding what she wants from an evening.

03 / The witness

Corvus Q.
Featherbottom

Psychopomp. Professional pessimist. Your narrator, reluctantly present and taking exceptionally detailed notes.

The author behind the chaos

Hello, I’m
Kat Summers.

I write romantic comedies for people who like their love stories with a side of the supernatural, the absurd, and the mildly catastrophic.

In the Death Takes novellas, Death and Hel navigate married life, mortal holidays, and the consequences of bringing a professional pessimist along for the ride.
