Satire that anticipates Britain's EU Referendum and potential Brexit as well the political landscape that brought us here.
With a fresh round of spending cuts in the Afterlife and immigration services stretched to breaking point, mistakes are inevitable. Admin errors, but from the Other Side. Anomalies slip through the net and sit down to tea.
It's those at the bottom that suffer, the ones with no say in it. The living world begins to fill up with those who have died but been refused entry to the Hereafter; the dead that haven't died to their full potential. The Book of the Not-Dead-Enough is the story of their continued attempts to keep calm and carry on, in a world that has seen too many George Romero films.
The dead live on in our memories, but the Not-Dead-Enough don't need memories; they need a good beautician and central heating. They've been Beyond and come back. They're not sure they like it.
They're not just pushing up the daisies; they're making daisy chains, tidying up the graveside floral arrangements and downloading Interflora vouchers on their smartphones. If you want something done properly...
Loitering somewhere between Dickens, Pratchett and Douglas Adams, The Book of the Not-Dead-Enough is a debut collection of short shorts and flash fictions that isn't wholly flippant nor wholly serious, but tickles at the join between.
