Now he knows it is.Because somebodyi's kidnapped his Uncle and hei's forced to give chase.Leaving normality far behind...He will make friends on the way: the enigmatic Lashram, the absurd Squintillion, the noble Algernon. He will see sights that will make the wildest dreams of his life seem bland.But will he survive long enough to enjoy them? There are horrors out there, ravenous cannibals, lethal assassins and, of course The High Lord Jethryk i? a man who wears shadows torn from his victims and could snuff out all life in the universe using no more than his smooth fingertips. There is, in fact, only one power Jethryk doesni't possess, a power he intends to steal from Charliei's uncle.By whatever means necessary.Iti's all about story you see, and the power of imagination, one false word and creation as we know it will cease to exist...The Imagineer is a beautifully illustrated novel that hearkens back to the child in all of us, a modern fairytale that will excite older children and adults alike. There are other worlds to explore: sometimes wonderful, sometimes terrifying, always spectacular.All you have to do is believe...

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

Beneath the Surface

Simon Strantzas

A collection of inexplicably joined short stories and tales from Rhys Hughes, the author who is to convention what apricots are to armadillos.If Monty Python re-formed to write stories, Tom Stoppard did literary research to use for style structures, and Douglas Adams rose from the grave to give technology advice, the result would be called 'a poor attempt to out-do Rhys Hughes at his own game'.32 tales about life, non-melodic sounds, cats, adventures, love, bread, circuses, pyramids, ducks, and more
