Adventures in the Afterlife and Other Such Stories is a collection of 20 eclectic short stories of fiction that include spooky, after-death experiences, space travel to the home of all human souls, a deep dive into the mind of a mild-mannered killer, a kooky Tarot card game, a deadly premonition, a journey to Heaven for Divine Justice, judgments of the Egyptian God of the dead, detective work on a murder mystery, and conflict among ancient pre-human species, but not to forget a little satire on current events in the news. These stories are pure entertainment, as well as food for thought and spirit.
