About this listen

Two stories from SUM: Tales from the Afterlives by David Eagleman.

In 'Mary', read by David Eagleman, you find Mary Shelley sitting on a throne and learn that Frankenstein is God's favourite book.

In 'Spirals', read by Kerry Fox, you discover that your Creator is a species of small, dim-witted, obtuse creatures.

In SUM, David Eagleman entertains 40 fictional possibilities of life beyond death. With wit and humanity, he asks the key questions about existence, hope, technology and love. These stories are full of big ideas and bold imagination.

This release is one of 20 pairings of readings from the audiobook, which assembles a stellar cast of narrators who bring the scenarios of SUM brilliantly alive: Gillian Anderson, Emily Blunt, Nick Cave, Jarvis Cocker, Jack Davenport, Lisa Dwan, David Eagleman, Noel Fielding, Kerry Fox, Stephen Fry, Clarke Peters, Lemn Sissay and Harriet Walter.
