This quirky, offbeat novel by Ian O'Neill is a light and touching look at one man's journey through the afterlife.

David Henderson felt nothing when a sofa bed landed on him, but his Afterbirth was definitely something he'd rather never feel again. He finds himself in the Afterlife, naked, confused, afraid...

Thank heavens for David's caseworker Nigel, who helps guide him through those first trying Afterlife experiences: his funeral, reading peoples' minds, walking on water (through walls, floors), catching the bus...

As if he doesn't have enough to keep him busy like making it through his challenges, juggling concern for new friends and meeting the Big Guy, David is determined to find his wife, Paula, taken years before him. But the Afterlife is one busy place and if David doesn't concentrate he might find himself stuck there forever, or worse, he could end up in the grinder.
