Below this world lies another — a world from which all nightmares are born, and to which all our dreams are sacrificed for our very survival.
Collected here for the first time are a dozen tales culled from the surreal genius of Simon Strantzas. Tales of grief, of loneliness, of guilt. Tales of things that live beyond our understanding, that watch us with malignant indifference. Tales of the liminal places that separate our world from that other world, and where all barriers between the two have begun to fail…

There, can you feel it? That shiver down your back? Something horrible is rising from beneath the surface.

"Beneath the Surface" is the début collection of Mr. Strantzas’s work, and also features a witty, intelligent, and highly informative introduction from no less a literary talent and bon viveur than the very Mark Samuels.
