A ghost chase of places of the afterlife, Vanhoutte’s brilliant intellectual history ensures we will never think about death the same way. This intellectual Baedeker of the afterlife demonstrates that how we live in and think about this life is always understood and referenced by how we think about and anticipate the afterlife.
