What Dreams May Come
2 journalers for this copy...
A classic novel of love after death, from one our greatest fantasy writers. The premise is deceptively simple: Chris Neilson has died in a car accident, but his life-force--his spirit--is still conscious of this plane of reality. And he is still too in love with his wife, Ann, to completely let go. She in turn does not want to go on living without him, as each regards the other as their soul mate. What Chris will do to get back with Ann after she dies makes for one of the most unusual love stories ever told. Even though the story can be enjoyed as pure fantasy, what makes What Dreams May Come unique is how the author spent years researching the subject of life after death.

I loved this story. Richard Matheson usually writes horror, but this one is a strange kind of love story. Just my kind of book!

I selected this from time-traveler's Bizarre Fiction bookbox.
I'm including this in indygo's Best of BC bookbox. While I loved the film and love the premise, I really don't enjoy Matheson's writing. (Weird, since he's considered a master, but I had the same reaction to Stir of Echoes so I can only conclude that I just don't like his style. He has great ideas, though!)
