"Bardo (intermediate state)" as a book category groups works that explore liminal transitional states—most commonly the Tibetan Buddhist concept of the bardo between death and rebirth—but also broader psychological, spiritual, and metaphorical thresholds (near-death experiences, dying and bereavement, dreamlike transformations, rites of passage). It includes scripture and practice manuals (ritual guides, meditation instructions, translations of the Tibetan Book of the Dead), memoirs and case studies of near-death or visionary encounters, philosophical and comparative religion treatments, and literary or speculative fiction that stages characters in suspended, transformative conditions. Themes emphasize impermanence, consciousness in transition, guidance through uncertainty, and the ethical or existential implications of in-between states; tones range from instructional and contemplative to visionary and allegorical. The category appeals to readers interested in spirituality, death studies, psychology of transition, comparative religion, and liminal storytelling.
