Kealan Patrick Burke : Underneath before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Underneath:

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Beauty may be skin deep, but ugly can run clear to the boneBy S. RichardsI was disturbed by this story, even angered and frustrated by it. I went from pitying to hating one character; and the one I had disliked the most for his cowardice, I ended up feeling the most sympathy and regret for him. And I didn't see that twisted ending coming. Enjoying the dark feeling of this story, I did like how it provoked and disturbed me, so I didn't even mind that punch to the gut ending. It was a bitter twist that made the main character's pain all the more tragic. I felt dismay and sadness at how Dean had destroyed himself. Not an easy, feel-good read, this story explores those dark, ugly places in human character that cause us to hurt someone just because it may be cruel fun.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Review of UnderneathBy AimeeKayThis one is extremely brief. But somehow in this stories few pages we are able to follow Dean on his descent into madness, uncover the horrible truth behind the act that started him down that path. I decided to include the warning in the summery on my post that there are some scenes of violence and strong language. But I think that only touches on the scenes it is referring too.Honestly I feel the scenes are truly disturbing. The twist that comes at the end of the book, makes them even more so.The story is extremely well written. The author does an amazing job of bringing his characters and scenes to life. Some of the scenes are more horrifying by what the author doesn't say and leaves strictly to the imagination of the reader.The ending is very abrupt. The final scene shocking, as we find out, along with Dean, exactly what happened to Stephanie. I do feel that the ending was a bit too sudden. Considering the depths of crazy that Dean reached, I definitely expected at least one more act of violence to explode from him.This isn't part of a larger story, just it's own stand alone. I don't know if I would read more from the author. He is obviously a master with words, but the places those words take the reader are definitely disturbing. I wouldn't recommend this one to anyone under 18, it's definitely more adult fare.If you've read Underneath or any other works by Kealan Patrick, I'd love to know what you think. If you were as bothered, or not, and either way why.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. These kids aren't what they seemBy S. WarfieldThis short story shows an exaggerated picture of the cruelty that high school kids can display. In order to stop being bullied by another boy, Dean must ask out on a date the most bullied and unpopular girl in the school, all because she is scarred. Dean doesn't really want to ask her out because he knows he'll be the brunt of jokes from the other students, but it's that or face the wrath of Freddy.Stephanie questions Dean about why he's asking her out, and she seems to know that it's a bet. It's happened before. But Dean persists in telling her that he really wants to ask her on a date, so on that Friday he calls and asks her out for the next evening.There is an overriding sense of horror throughout the story, and it eventually manifests itself near the end and in the ending itself. There is almost a "Carrie"-like feeling to the story. Whatever it is, it's a good short story for readers who like a touch of horror and who like a feeling of being a bit unsettled while reading. It won't scare you, but it will leave you a bit disturbed, if you're so inclined.(Contains language, adult situations)

From the acclaimed, -Nominated collection THE NUMBER 121 TO PENNSYLVANIA...For Dean Lovell, the nightmare begins with a dare that comes with the promise of violence if he chickens out: He must ask out on a date the school pariah, a horribly disfigured girl named Stephanie Watts. Dean agrees, and soon learns that there is more to Stephanie than anyone dared imagine, that beneath the scars, there are terrifying secrets underneath...A free short story from the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of THE TURTLE BOY.
