What Comes Next? (2012 event)

Acclaimed author Keith Gray has edited an anthology of stories by
leading writers looking at where we go when we die, entitled
Next. Each short story examines the idea in different ways. Kate
Harrison’s trilogy Soul Beach is about a girl whose sister is
murdered and trapped in a kind of limbo but can communicate with
a chosen loved one through a website. Keith Gray and Kate
Harrison join Iona Heath, President of the Royal College of
General Practitioners and author of Matters of Life and Death, in
this event to explore the idea of afterlife, why some cultures
and individuals believe there is such a thing and why death is
such fertile territory for writers. Chaired by Lindsey Fraser and
recorded live at the 2012 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
