I'm so obsessed with this book. Read it for the third time today - and then to find this... Thank you :)

[@melinda9630]

i started the book yesterday and saw this today and really enjoyed it.

[@gentesg]

What a delight! Thanks so much!

[@nationradical]

Beautiful, heart wrenching words from all

[@edieneves9060]

That was so cool! I wish they made more of this kind of videos!! Thank you 😊😘💜

[@Ashley-jb4yu]

Amazing!! Almost exactly as i'd imagined!

[@morpheuszzz662]

Such a great book. This was well done and a lot of fun.

[@cherylynlarking191]

this captured perfectly the essence of the book.

[@susansname]

Remarkable tribute to my favorite book

[@shawnbrown7909]

Great book. Great VR production.

THIS IS THE COOLEST THING ON YIUTUBE

[@kaiblack4005]

Powerful.

[@marylhere]

Best audio book ever produced.

[@victorortega2718]

Man i got the audible and i was so lost i didnt even know wth was going on. But this made it make so much sense. Amazing work 👏

[@vicj9256]

Read a bit about Buddhism and the bardos, which might help it make more sense.

[@rayjones1455]

I love this video. I watched it last Halloween on my PSVR and got caught up in the moving depiction of Lincoln and his son. To me, this showcases the serious entertainment potential of VR. I really enjoyed looking at the reactions of the other ghosts in the cemetery as Lincoln spoke about his son. As Halloween approaches again, I am going to watch this again soon on my PSVR - a serious "ghost story" VR experience.

[@carolynesophiamaguina4736]

AWESOMERS!!!!!!!

[@chrishintz1077]

I guess this means we're not going to be left alone even after death. I'm bringing my earplugs and eye mask. Btw, loved the audiobook

[@vicj9256]

I don't don't think that's the point of the book, if you understand the Buddhist take on the bardos.

[@chrishintz1077]

@@vicj9256 thanks for reply. I’ll have to check into that. ;). Always thought is intriguing.

[@wouldprefernotcando]

I dunno... but I think these characters shouldn't be in a "human shape"?

[@bonkersblock]

must read the book..

[@PaperBird]

amaze balls

[@slybuster]

Well, that was unnecessary. Looks like a mad for tv movie from the 90s.

[@walkingman7016]

This is just coca-colaing

[@georgemacbeth2311]

wtf is this

[@georgemacbeth2311]

Why do such a cringeworthy disservice to a new book you're ostensibly trying to promote?

[@joegibbskins]

+george macbeth lol at "ostensibly"

[@stayzz1408]

First

[@okenada]

i well up with emotions every time
