A dinosaur detective in the land of unwanted ideas battles trauma, anxiety, and the first serial killer of imaginary friends.

Most ideas fade away when we're done with them. Some we love enough to become Real. But what about the ones we love, and walk away from? ;

Tippy the triceratops was once a little girl's imaginary friend, a dinosaur detective who could help her make sense of the world. But when her father died, Tippy fell into the Stillreal, the underbelly of the Imagination, where discarded ideas go when they're too Real to disappear. Now, he passes time doing detective work for other unwanted ideas - until Tippy runs into The Man in the Coat, a nightmare monster who can do the impossible- kill an idea permanently. Now Tippy must overcome his own trauma and solve the case, before there's nothing left but imaginary corpses.

Reviews for Imaginary Corpse

I heartily recommend The Imaginary Corpse to any reader seeking a delightfully different book. It's as if Pixar's Inside Out mugged Toy Story in a surrealist Raymond Chandler novel. It's pure imagination on multiple axes - with a ton of heart. The Imaginary Corpse is inventive, fun, and touching, in the most unexpected way. a captivating new voice in the genre. Hayes nails that tone in the midst of what may be 2019's weirdest premise
