A Subaltern in Spirit Land: A Sequel to Gone West

About this book

J. S. M. Ward believed he could leave his body and meet his dead brother. The meetings did not remain comforting reunions. They opened into a spirit world of troubled souls, predatory beings and regions approaching Hell.

Presented as a sequel to Gone West, the book follows Ward's claimed astral journeys through regions where the dead continue to struggle and learn. He describes vampires, predatory beings and encounters with people lost to war, alongside efforts to relieve suffering. The prospect of reunion leads into darker territory than Ward had expected.
