Fascination of death? Hardly, it was an understanding of death and how to characterize it.

As to Tolkien being Eru, I think that he just wrote as if he were accounting an actual event as an outsider, as lathspell said. Even if he said that when he was creating his world he felt like he was God, the was it's written is in account, not narrative.
