Philip Bunting's The Other Side is a fascinating, humorous and enlightening exploration about what might come after life ... and how it can inspire us to live the best life we can today.
How are you enjoying your holiday here on Earth? It must be nice, being alive and all!
Join the Grim Reaper on a whistle-stop tour of some of the ways different people have thought about
what happens on 'the other side' … from Valhalla to Vodou, Heaven to Hades' Underworld. That is, of course, after you've finished up your holiday on the best planet this side of Pluto!
Have a great trip – and I’ll see you on the Other Side.
