What is the actual difference between dead and alive? Does a difference exist at all? Maybe not. The world of death and life may be separated just by a tiny line, easily crossable: sleep.
"Eternal Death, lost beneath the surface", first book of the "Eternal death" series, written by Lily Strange, explains that theory.

The novel tells how common people from the earthly world constantly switch to another sort of dimension or what may be called an "underworld" made of vampires, demons and dead earthbound spirits.
The scenario is an obscure, smoky and immense universe where restless spirits and wicked demons live their eternity, keeping vivid memories of their previous lives and trying to be part of a real-existing world and real-existing lives.

Lily Strange uses perfect words to describe the meanness of evil opposed to the purity and lightness of tormented, earthbound spirits.
The author uses quotes from H.P. Lovecraft and John Milton, very useful to create the right background and atmosphere for her underworld.

Lily Strange – the author’s pen name – publishes this story to tell her truth about a world that has been experienced personally by herself. Lily wrote the book together with a co-writer, the oddity being that he is a spirit, exactly like some of the characters of the novel, coming to the living world from a sort of other dimension to give voice to his personal inspirations and thoughts.

At the end of the book, a few pages "written" directly by the co-author soul introduce him to the readers. He says he is an "earthbound spirit by choice" exactly like the characters in the novel and like one of them his name appears to be Pelle. He says he committed suicide. Whether this is true or not, it does make the book very realistic as the whole story is turned, by his presence, in a true account from the underworld.

The novel is populated by many characters, coming up on the scene while the plot develops; they weave with others while death and life just swap themselves continuously. Thus being possible thanks to dreams and obsessions, visions that living people experience about the underworld and their inhabitants. There are good and bad souls, some of them damned by threatening evil forces, some of them fighting to change the destiny of a menaced world.
There is not a proper main character, yet there’s a woman whom everything seems to be linked to, a writer condemned to get visions from the world of death and still bound to some of the souls dominating it. She lives among her obsessions, in a sort of continuous dilemma whether to go for life or for death. She keeps on writing down all the images and dreams created by her mind, coming from her connections to the other world. Yet, she is not able to solve her inner questioning of what she really aims to until the end of the story.

"Eternal death, lost beneath the surface" is a very complex and involving novel, told about two very sensitive souls and a possibly real hidden universe.
