"An impressive, often unnerving, and always gutsy collection, Beneath the Surface of Things easily marks Kevin Wallis as a writer to Beware of with such stories as Redemption Song and No Monsters Came That Night. Every story showcases Wallis' determination to break through the so-called boundaries of dark fiction and explore disturbing and sometimes even eye-opening new worlds, some without, but most within. You owe it to yourself to look Beneath the Surface of Things."

Gary A. Braunbeck
Bram Stoker and World Horror Guild Award winning author
of To Each Their Darkness and A Cracked and Broken Path.

"His combination of horror with fantasy, surrealism with reality, light with dark, and mercy with death creates compelling stories deserving the attention of all readers."


Curled Up With a Good Book Book Reviews

"His mastery of suspending this reader's disbelief is as developed as any giant in the genre."

Isabela Morales, The Scattering


"Kevin Wallis makes the ugly and terrifying come alive. His stories have a complexity that I really enjoyed and went way beyond the simply scary."


Coral Moore, Chaos and Insanity
