Welcome to the space between.

Most people never find this page. But you noticed the moth, and you were curious enough to follow it. That tells us something about you.

From the Founder's Notebook

"I started The Afterlife Story Lab because I couldn't stop writing about dead people. Not in a morbid way — in a curious way. What do they know that we don't? What would they say if they could? Every project we build begins with that question, and the answers are always stranger, funnier, and more tender than I expect."

— Lindsay Clift, somewhere between drafts

Things We Believe But Rarely Say Out Loud

• Every ghost story is really a love story.
• The funniest people in the room are usually the saddest.
• A good story should make you laugh at a funeral.
• If your work doesn't scare you a little, you're not going deep enough.

What's Brewing in the Lab

Right now, somewhere in Bristol, there's a notebook filled with funeral director dialogue, a half-finished podcast script about a 75-year-old hacker, and a YA novel that's making its author cry at coffee shops. The lab never sleeps. (The founder sometimes does.)
