Somewhere Beneath Those Waves

By Sarah Monette
Somewhere Beneath Those Waves by Sarah Monette digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Monette's diverse collection delves deeply into the mythic and reaches far beyond everyday reality. Readers cannot resist journeying with her into realms—dangerously dark or illuminatingly revelatory—they could never imagine without her as their guide. From ghost stories in the tradition of M. R. James to darkly poetic tales to moving fictional examinations of the most basic of human emotion—fear, love, hate, loneliness—Monette's pen produces stories that are invariably unforgettable . . .

“One of the things I am noticing about reviews for this book is that everyone is coming away with a different experience. For some, these are stories of horrors, nightmares and supernatural dreamscapes. Though I can see those elements present in many of the stories, Somewhere Beneath Those Waves is, for me, a collection of love stories. They are not always straightforward, and they do not always have happy endings. There is darkness, there is tragedy, but above all there are glimmers of hope…often damaged, or broken, but still shining nonetheless, taking the first tentative steps towards regrowth. I love Sarah Monette. As I have mentioned before in reviews of her work, she is one of those authors who, for me, can do no wrong. Somewhere Beneath Those Waves is a beautiful collection, whose works will linger in my thoughts for some time to come. My personal favorites from the collection: Letters from a Teddy Bear on Veteran’s Day Amante Doree Katabasis: Seraphic Trains (by far my favorite) No Man's Land The World Without Sleep (a Kyle Murchison Booth story, for those familiar wtih the character) Absent from Felicity After the Dragon These are stories that I know I’ll return to again and again in the future. Each time, I can see myself discovering something new about them, taking away something different, having their experience added to. The best summation I could hope for of Monette and this work comes from the introduction by fellow author http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/108173.Elizabeth_Bear (another of my personal favorites). In it, she writes “Sarah’s stories are often—usually—the stories of awkward outsiders…. They are people who are too strong, too introverted, too queer, too transgendered, too haunted, too political, too feral. Her heroes and heroines are aliens in their own worlds, bemused and lonely, and still trying to find connection to other people—some way, some how. “So, what you hold in your hands is the first non-themed collection of the short fiction of one Sarah Monette, poet of the awkward and the uncertain, exalter of the outcast, the outré, and the downright weird. There is nothing else quite like it. And no matter how strange and alienated you may feel, there is room in her world for you.” And that world, I assure you, is beautiful.”
