But lately, it seems that something is happening in The City. Once everyone that ever knew them dies off, their soul ends up blinking out of The City, and it is unknown where these souls go. It is simply a place where the souls of the dead wind up after departing the Earth.īut unlike the typical depictions where people spend the rest of eternity lounging around in the afterlife, it turns out that the souls only stay in The City as long as there are people alive who remember them. It is an afterlife of sorts, but it's not the kind of heaven or hell that most people would expect. Its unnatural lack of an actual label and location in the world may be due to the fact that it's not even found in the world. It had no name, and nobody knew exactly where it was. Once Upon a Time, in a land far, far away. The Brief History of the Dead is a 2006 fantasy and adventure novel by Kevin Brockmeier.
