This is a quick read. The author debunks all sorts of nonsensical things relating to the afterlife; you name it: spirit communication, astral projection, EVP, poltergeists, hypnotism, cold reading, Ouija boards, reincarnation, near-death experiences, past life regression, the soul, and a variety of other subjects. He uses humor and draws from many experts to get his message across. The book has an extensive bibliography listing his many sources.
