“The living are just the dead on holiday.” Maurice Maeterlinck

Join ol’ Grimster (a.k.a. the Grim Reaper) on a whistle-stop tour of afterlife beliefs from around the world. From the Aztecs to the Vikings, people have always told stories about what happens once our time on Earth is up. But who knows what’s really on the Other Side?

The Other Side is a lighthearted exploration of our many beliefs about life after death. It’s about how those ideas can inspire us to live the best life we can, while we’re here.

The Other Side is published in Australia by Walker Books (August 2026).
