In 'Dead Collections,' we encounter Sol, an unconventional archivist with vampirism, who finds companionship in Elsie, the vibrant widow of a minor celebrity. Their meeting at his workplace sparks an unusual connection. As they circle each other's orbits, they confront grief, challenge pervasive transphobia, and navigate a past internet fandom that once connected them. When Elsie donates her late wife's papers for archiving, it sets off a chain of peculiar events demanding Sol's leap into the fray. With tenderness and humor, Isaac Fellman crafts a narrative that delves deep into the affirmation of identity and the poignant quest for belonging against the backdrop of 'vampire disease' stigma and the labyrinth of human emotion.
