NEW HORROR NOVEL WRITTEN BY PSYCHIC WITH HELP OF
GHOST
(BOULDER, Colorado) – A new horror
novel
titled "Lost Beneath The Surface" is a story of demons,
angels,
gods, goddesses and a vampire – and it was
co-written with the help of a
ghost, according to author,
Lily Strange.
"I never set out to write a book with a ghost, it
just
happened," said Strange, who began writing the book 15
years ago as
her marriage began falling apart. "It began
as a 2-dimensional Gothic
romance, but it ended very
differently."
In 2005, Strange says she met a spirit who began
working
with her on the manuscript. The story then took on an
entirely
different tone.
"In my family, there are a lot of people with
psychic
abilities," said Strange. "One of my maternal
great-grandfathers
always knew when people were going to
die and saw ghosts."
Strange made contact with a dead musician who ended
his
life in suicide. The ghost was receptive to Strange, as he
was quite
lonely, she said. Soon, Strange began to work
with the ghost.
"He would read over my shoulder while I was
working," said
Strange. "He asked if I might like to hear some ideas
he
had and before I knew it he was contributing enough that I
could only
see fit to call him my co-author."
The author, who says she has seen ghosts since the
age of
16, said she wrote the book under a pen name, because she
is
"sensitive about enduring the criticism that revealing
this supernatural
partnership will subject me to."
The complex horror novel blends true details of
the
hard-rock-underground of the late 80s and early 90s with a
fantasy
story. The result is an intricate and interwoven
tale of Terry Bruckham, a
popular author who can't catch a
break. Terry falls in love with London
blues-rock singer,
Elvin Barris. Soon, in Terry's dreams a terrifying
threat
is revealed – dark forces that put the universe at stake.
An excerpt from the prologue:
"This is a story of love and loss, of triumph
and
destruction, and of the knowledge that nothing in this
world will last
forever … This is, if you will, a love
story."
