Item Description...


Product Description
A 2008 Bram Stoker Award Finalist for "BEST ANTHOLOGY." Shroud Publishing has compiled 13+ of the eeriest and most terrifying works of short fiction into a classically-themed trade paperback titled "Beneath The Surface." "Beneath The Surface" represents the first in a series of limited edition anthologies intended for discerning horror readers. In this collection of stories, readers will be tantalized and thrilled by tales of supernatural beings, Gothic settings, shadowy creatures, and atmospheric haunts. "Beneath The Surface" will serve as the perfect companion to cold nights by the fire or snowed-in days off from work. "An anthology of old school tales containing stories which are, by turns, spooky, gripping, insightful, pulpish, and just downright fun. A first offering from Shroud Publishing that will hopefully be followed by plenty more in the same vein." --Tom Piccirilli, author of THE COLD SPOT and THE MIDNIGHT ROAD

2009 Bram Stoker Award nomination  Mar 25, 2009
I'm the author of "Thorguson", the opening story in Beneath The Surface, and I just wanted to announce that the anthology has just been nominated for the prestigious 2009 Bram Stoker Award...!!!

Congrats to all the other authors in the antho, and kudos to our editor Tim Deal!!!
 
Questioning my own standards  Oct 17, 2008
The other 4 star reviews prompted my purchase of this very small book of horror shorts...Horror??? I was expecting the M R James type or at least Ramsey Campbell type of creepy tale,,no way ! These are just okay but far from worthy of any first class anthology,,,as for instance the Best of or Years Best,,you will not find any of these tales reprinted ever i would safely wager,,they are just so ordinary but then again much of the recent terror and horror genre are about this same level of expertise,,where have the former high standards of this popular tale gone...?? Bloch we miss you!
 
Startling Glimpses into the Netherworld  Mar 27, 2008
I was traveling across the country on the Sunset Limited, and this book kept my imagination going through every town we passed on our journey. While my body was riding the rails, my mind was entering a new dimension of horror. Shroud has published a gripping assortment of extremely intelligent and frightening yarns. It's well worth the money. Take it on a trip, and you won't be bored! You will, however, get your mind blown away.
 
Horrifically entertaining and loved every page!  Mar 25, 2008
I thoroughly enjoyed this book from cover to cover. The intensity and scary nature of these short stories was as much entertaining as it was thrilling. I would highly recommend this anthology to everyone who enjoys a book filled with fantasy and intrigue.
 
Judging a book by its cover....  Mar 22, 2008
...never, but as a fan of Lovecraft I admit I was initially drawn to the book by the fantastic cover art.

Thankfully this book is more than just a pretty face. Like Frankenstein's monster this little grimoire was cobbled together from different pieces and assembled nicely for your reading pleasure (13 different short stories, various authors).

I won't post any spoilers but if your tastes occasionally tilt towards the dark, the macabre, the spooky or the unknown then you will find some reading pleasure lurking in this book.

Upon finishing the book my interest was piqued, I checked the site listed on the back. (Shroud publishing)This was their first publication, quite impressive for first timers.

The site indicates that they do publish a magazine (I will be checking that out) and that there are plans for a second book to be published, with 13 more stories. No date listed for the next release but the cover looks great.
