King. Do not let the lack of light stop you from discovering more adventures and stories that will keep you up at night and ignite the imagination. There is no place to hide in, THE DARKNESS!

    Here, a man searches for truth in a universe that has forsaken him and pays the price for that knowledge, and a woman with out hope travels northward to find the place where her life fell to pieces and discovers of what she truly is 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 that 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.Table of ContentsForeword To Beneath The Surface by Matt CardinA Shadow in God's EyeIt Runs Beneath the SurfaceThe Constant Encroaching of a Tumultuous SeaA Thing of LoveOff the HookMore to LearnBehind GlassIn the AirYou Are HereThe Autumnal CityThe Wound So DeepThoughtlessLeather, Dark and ColdDrowned Deep Inside of MeAfterword: Excerpts from a Writer's Journal"One of the most important debut short story collection in the genre." -- Stephen Jones
