What happens after we die? This difficult question has fascinated people for thousands of years.

An Atlas of Afterlives sets out to explore and explain the many underworlds, otherworlds, heavens and hells believed in by cultures from across the world, throughout history. From paradise gardens to fiery kingdoms, from shadowy isles of the dead to ghostly galleons on an eternal voyage, these visions of eternity are fascinating examples of human creativity and storytelling.

Organised by continent, this book will take you on an eerie journey to discover legendary places from different mythologies. Each lavishly illustrated spread invites you into a different realm of the dead, with deities, demons and other details drawn from historical sources ranging from ancient Egyptian scrolls to Chilean folklore. With wonder, curiosity and sensitivity, every one of these awe-inspiring places is presented in its cultural context, combining real, historical fact with the magical atmosphere of the unknown - and unknowable.

Discover afterlives from all over the world, including:

    The gloomy kingdom of Hades, ancient Greek god of the dead
    Valhalla, mead hall of fallen Norse heroes
    Duat, ancient Egyptian River of Death
    Jannah, the beautiful Islamic garden of heaven
    Kakuriyo, the invisible realm of spirits in Japanese Shinto beliefs
    The Gates of Guinee, the Voudou portal said to be hidden in New Orleans
    The Lakota Trail of Spirits in the Milky Way
    Kibu, island of ghosts to the Torres Strait Islanders of Australia
    Many, many more.
