Inspired by a dead woman named Delores who appeared to one of the authors in a dream, A Newcomer's Guide to the Afterlife is the text that was presented to her shortly after she crossed over to the "other side." With the help of Tom Whalen, Daniel Quinn was able to decipher for living readers the cryptic messages encoded in the text of what is commonly known among the dead as "The Little Book." Filled with wisdom, secrets, strange imaginings, uncanny perceptions, and unexpected humor--A Newcomer's Guide to the Afterlife can be read as parable, allegory, or exactly as what it proclaims itself to be.
