Vampire-themed Novel : Eternal Death

 

A small group of seemingly ordinary people is all that stands in the way of a sinister plan

that could destroy the world as we know it in author Lily Strange's horror novel,

"Eternal Death, Book One: Lost Beneath the Surface."

 

Boulder, CO, Mar 11, 2008 - A small group of seemingly normal individuals is faced

with safeguarding the future of the material universe from a megalomaniacal vampire in

Lily Strange's new must-read horror novel, "Eternal Death, Book One: Lost Beneath the

Surface."

 

This book tells the story of how a race of malevolent vampires attempts to refashion the

very laws of existence-in a way that could mean the end of the world as we know it-as

they seek to reclaim their former glory on earth.

 

Against this backdrop, an acclaimed novelist named Terry Bruckham is awakened by

disturbing memories, as well as a gathering awareness of her own past. Along with those

close to her, she begins to rouse to the sinister plan. Now, the group must rise up and

wage a battle for the future of the universe even as they discover the shocking truth

behind mankind's history. It's a battle both in the material world and the various realms

inhabited by these magnificently powerful gods and spirits, including the mysterious

Dreamlands, home to the sleeping and the earthbound dead.

 

A wide-ranging, multi-voiced work, "Eternal Death, Book One: Lost Beneath the

Surface" is told through flashbacks, excerpts from books written by the novel's

protagonists as well as traditional storytelling. And it weaves a plethora of references that

will be familiar to fans of the genre-including Pagan deities, Judeo-Christian angels and

demons, and the creatures of H.P. Lovecraft-to create a richly imagined world at once

horrifying and captivating.

 

In addition to providing horror fans with a terrifyingly good read, "Eternal Death"

provides a way to give back. Fifty percent of the profits from book sales will be donated

to the World Health Organization's mental health division, states Strange. The decision to

make a contribution to the group was spurred by the book's unique collaborative origin.

According to Strange, a ghost writer-in the literal sense-who began communicating

with her in late 2005 played a critical role in the book's development. Because the

ghost writer committed suicide, Strange says, she hopes to stop others from making the

same error.
