The Afterlives

In Thomas Pierce's debut novel, "The Afterlives," a comedic and touching exploration of life after death unfolds through the story of Jim Byrd, who experiences a brief death at thirty from a heart attack. Revived without any traditional near-death experiences, Jim questions what lies beyond and soon finds himself navigating a surreal world filled with holograms, psychics, and messages from the dead. Alongside his wife, Annie, they grapple with themes of love, loss, and faith, making this original tale both humorous and poignant.
