Image of “The Piebald Horse," an oil painting by Paulus Potter, with a brown-speckled white horse standing in a field against a cloudy sky, looking back just slightly to the viewer. Above the horse is added text from “Hollows After Bones” by Elis Montgomery: “Nightraiser paws a hoof into the harrowed earth. Every grave here is laid bare like the land’s been peeled back in great layers.”Image of a watercolour illustration by Raffaele Mainella for Nos Invisibles (1907). A dark figure stands over an open, flower-strewn casket with their hands raised to a lighter sky of dancing, white-clad figures. A dead man lies inside the casket beside a tall candle, its smoke trailing into the distance. Over the sky is added text from “Hollows After Bones” by Elis Montgomery: “Neither he nor the rider had prepared for death; it had come for them suddenly, as certain as wildfire.”Image of “The Race Track (Death on a Pale Horse)” (c. 1896–1908), an oil painting by Albert Pinkham Ryder. Depicts a skeletal, scythe-wielding figure riding a galloping horse through the dark countryside. Over the sky is added text from “Hollows After Bones” by Elis Montgomery: “Horses did not have to pay their way through, but perhaps that was the way of humans.”Image of “La calavera de Don Quijote (The Skeleton of Don Quixote)” (c. 1910-1913), a print of a relief etching with engraving by José Guadalupe Posada. A hat-wearing and lance-wielding skeleton rides a skeletal horse through a crowd of smaller, fleeing skeletons. Added text reads, “Hollows After Bones” by Elis Montgomery,” and “Free to Read | Adventitious.”

The Moth Plateau comes to its dramatic close with Of Moths and Breaking, narrated by Melle, whose story was so much fun to write. When the 15-year-old discovers her family home destroyed, nothing will stop her from confronting the corporate stooges in charge!

Sheep Detectives was such a fun film. I watched it with the kids and it was their first intro to a Whodunit type story and now they seem hungry for more. They really loved guessing and seeing how close they were.
