About the Book

There is no white light. There are no deceased loved ones greeting you. Instead, there is a stack of pancakes, or maybe a deer, or maybe just a bored bureaucrat asking you to fill out a customer satisfaction survey. As if dying weren't bad enough, the afterlife seems to be about as exciting as filling out a tax form. Worse, sometimes the bureaucracy of the universe screws up and tells you that your death was all a mistake and it would be sorted out shortly, and, in the meantime, would you mindpatiently waiting as a ghost?Such is the experience of McAllister "Mac" Rose in Frequently Asked Questions About Being Dead, a humorous fantasy, in which she, not comforted at all by such an assurance and assisted by a bumbling "Question Dude," must try to find her way back to life on Earth as a war in Heaven begins. The novel satirizes conventional notions of life after death, positing that after one dies, one encounters a Question Dude who asks one to fill out a customer satisfaction survey before escorting one back into the general chaos of the universe. All runs well until some of the Question Dudes start questioning the system anddecide to set up their own private Hell to punish those souls that they consider undeserving of being recycled back into the energy of the universe. Into this situation, a librarian who died by mistake wanders in, setting into motion events that will involve a mad monk, a former slave who likes to punch sharks in the nose for relaxation, and a slacker who died when his bungee cord was itself slack, among other characters.Frequently Asked Questions About Being Dead is the third novel by Wred Fright.
