Beneath The Surface

Revised and expanded, the startling debut of Simon Strantzas resurfaces with tales of dark gods and monsters of the flesh, emissaries from a world beneath our own. Here, a man searches for truth in a universe that has forsaken him and pays the price for that knowledge, and a woman without hope travels northward to find the place where her life fell to pieces and discovers of what she is truly made. They say no man is an island, no matter how much he wishes to be, but what then is that ship that sails toward him, and what pray tell is lashed to its bow? These are tales that infect our dreams, tales of things that live beyond our understanding and watch us with malignant indifference. They are tales of grief, of loneliness, of guilt. Tales of the liminal places that separate our world from that other world, the world to which our souls are merely a gateway. Come inside and witness what resides in us all, deep down beneath the surface.Foreword by Matt Cardin"One of the most important debut short story collections in the genre." -- Stephen Jones
