Quick Reads 1

The Healthiest Corpse in the Morgue follows a spiritual medium who travels across Essex with her husband, Kevin, connecting the living with those who have passed. While she listens, Kevin counts the profits - and enjoys them far more than the consequences. Driven by greed and bravado, he pushes the séances further and further, edging them toward increasingly dangerous extremes.

Until everything goes wrong.

When the balance tips, it is no longer the living who are in control. The dead begin to call the shots - and they are far less forgiving.

An eerie, dark comedy where greed, grief, and the afterlife collide.

This story first appeared in the collection The Healthiest Corpse in the Morgue, also by Arabella Parke. It has been edited and updated and is now presented as a standalone story in the Quick Reads series.
