Can being undead really be better than being alive? With the current popularity of the paranormal it seems there's a lost to be said in favour of the abilities and lifestyles of the undead.Now eighteen intrepid explorers of the 'lives' of the undead share their visions in stories that range from the fates that may await one in the Afterlife, to haunting futures of those whose spirits remain on earth, to those who are still bound to their flesh no matter what shape it's in, to that most popular member of undead society-the vampire.From a young man who must find his way through the eighteen Chinese Hells in search of justice . . . to a mummy con artist who seeks to trick Ma'at, the goddess of Truth . . . to a suicide whose spirit will discover there's no place like home . . . to a dead man in search of one really good meal . . . to a new-made vampire who just wants her life back . . . these are stories that range from the humorous to the chilling. After you read them, you'll never look at life, death, and the undead the same way again.
