Having just watched "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" on TCM, I was interested to read this brief article about a spiritualist's attempt to finish the novel (left incomplete at the time of Charles Dickens' death):

Opinions differ on whether or not the channeled material is up to the Dickens standard, but it does seem as if the medium sincerely believed he was in communication with the late author; he turned down all offers to produce more books by this method, despite the prospect of large payments.

Just watched a christmas movie called Scrooge hehe.I saw on youtube that Larry King wants to have his body frozen. I don't think that his mind would still be there and consciousness if his body was ever able to come back. He be a zombie.
