The World According To The Dead

In "The World According to the Dead" by author Martin Tobias Lithner, 19-year-old Juan Carlos is suddenly thrust into a realm beyond life, his spirit lingering after a tragic drive-by shooting outside his mother’s house in Los Angeles. Juan awakens as a ghost, caught between the living and the dead, navigating a strange and restless afterlife filled with powerful forces, lost souls, and ancient, predatory demons known as the watchers.

As he floats through the streets of modern-day L.A., Juan discovers the unsettling truth: the world of the dead is not the silent, peaceful place he imagined. Instead, it is alive with energy, a world of shifting realities, outbursts of emotion, and hidden battles between the lost and the unseen creatures that hunt them. The Watchers, malevolent entities feeding on fear and suffering, have marked Juan as their next prey, forcing him to confront the terrifying truth that his fight for survival is far from over.
