Overview

The afterlife is broken-and it's running on bad code. When IT technician Miles Finch dies, he expects peace. Instead, he wakes up in a glitching digital afterlife where millions of souls are trapped in an endless buffering loop, the reincarnation system has crashed, and the error messages never stop. Worse? It's his fault. Teaming up with Elsie, a sharp-tongued suffragette who's been stuck in limbo for decades, Miles must debug centuries of terrible code, navigate spectral bureaucracy, and survive a growing ghost rebellion led by a Wi-Fi-obsessed pirate. But as the system spirals toward total collapse, fixing the afterlife may require more than a patch-it may require rewriting reality itself. Darkly funny, inventive, and wildly original, Ghosted by the Afterlife is a genre-bending sci-fi comedy about second chances, digital chaos, and what happens when eternity crashes.

Author Information

Reed Mallory writes speculative satire for the spiritually exhausted, the algorithmically overexposed, and anyone who's ever tried to survive a team-building exercise without losing their soul. A lifelong student of bureaucracy-divine, corporate, and digital-Mallory brings a sharp wit and a love of the absurd to stories that blur the lines between the celestial and the cubicle, the viral and the eternal. His debut novel, Cancel the Apocalypse, earned cult acclaim for its hilarious portrayal of divine mismanagement and a clerical error that nearly ended the world on the wrong day. His latest, Human Resources from Hell, takes readers deeper into the underworld's fluorescent-lit offices, where performance reviews are eternal and staplers have a thirst for blood. Up next is The Algorithm Is Watching, a darkly comic tech thriller that asks what happens when your social media strategy becomes sentient-and wants to monetize your very existence. When he's not writing, Mallory can be found arguing with his smart fridge, doomscrolling ironically, or drinking ethically-sourced coffee while plotting the next cosmic blunder.
