Is there life after death? Do we go to a better place or do our bodies turn to dust? In Cloud 8, debut novelist Grant Bailie addresses these questions by creating a richly imagined and fantastic landscape. James Broadhurst is killed in a car accident and finds himself floating towards the great white light. Instead of being greeted by angels and puffy white clouds, James discovers that the afterlife consists of Abraham Loncoln look-alikes, free beer, a job writing copy for an office product that no one comprehends and watching your dearly departed on television.
