Description
To Be Read Upon My Death is a prompted journal designed for anyone with a wicked sense of humour, a colourful past, or simply a desire to leave behind a memoir that is far more honest than anything they would ever say out loud. Created by Brass Monkey, this hardback journal leans into the playful drama of confessions, secrets and mischief, inviting you to document the stories that shaped you, from the harmless to the outrageous.
Inside are more than 280 unique prompts that guide you through the moments you may not share in polite conversation, yet form essential parts of who you are. Some entries are light-hearted, exploring your worst subject in school, your most questionable food opinions, or the time you hung out with a celebrity. Others are introspective or revealing, encouraging you to reflect on words you wish you had not said or decisions that still make you wince. Some sections lean into dark humour, such as who you plan to haunt and why.
The structure is intentionally simple and accessible. Each prompt gives space for storytelling, followed by a small box asking whether you have any regrets. Many readers find this both amusing and unexpectedly cathartic. The journal becomes a written time capsule, a place to process memory, mischief, mistakes and personality with full transparency. Whether you fill it alone, share it with a partner, or hide it in a drawer for future amusement, it provides a humorous and slightly subversive form of self-reflection.
The spot-varnished hardcover gives it a clean, modern appearance, and the tall, slim size makes it easy to carry or keep bedside. With 200 pages of content, including extra space for confessions that the designers claim were too strange even for them, it invites creative release and honest storytelling.
This journal makes a brilliant gift for alternative thinkers, goths, storytellers, sentimental troublemakers, those who collect prompted journals, and anyone who prefers their reflective work to have a dark comedic edge.
