Welcome to life beyond! An illustrated guide to the most wondrous and downright spooky homes for those without heartbeats. Here we explore the mythological afterlives of ancient civilisations alongside spiritual celebration across the ages - all with a healthy splash of joie de vivre and not a drop of melancholy.
Delve into labyrinths of bone and stone, swim through sunken cemeteries, unearth the ancient sites of long-lost legends, and between your adventures, join in the heartfelt traditions of cultures around the world proudly reuniting the living and the lost.
From the colourful festivals of Mexico's Day of the Dead to the Pirate Cemetery of Saint-Pierre and the depths of Hades, embark on a captivating adventure through folklore, mythology, and cultural practices that illuminate the beauty and complexity of the afterlife.
While this tour prioritises grim gremlins of ages 7+, anyone older is welcome along for an entertaining education in the eerie, exciting, and utterly otherworldly.
