The Dead Scout's Handbook of Afterlife Survival

For Cayden Caldwell, life had been the easy part. Yes, he had to escape a neglectful household, and sure, he had never been popular, and no, he certainly hadn't been blessed with intelligence, good looks, or money. But he had a little half-brother and a wife, both of which meant more to him than whatever a mirror, a book, or a full wallet could. Life had been the easy part, indeed.

Then, Cayden died.

Having lost everything and found himself stranded in a hauntingly empty afterlife, Cayden and a small band of new arrivals each possess a unique power. They'll need them. Because there's only one safe haven within 500 miles, and there's a reason the afterlife feels so empty--there are monsters in those hills.
