“It looks like early-onset schizophrenia.”


There’s something living in the basement of the funeral home. Billy has seen it, but nobody believes him. At least, none of the adults in his life do.


“Most people who are suffering delusions this intense require institutionalization. Billy, however, seems very resilient to them.”


It’s waiting for him, it knows him. It’s coming to him at night, when he is all alone… it even penetrates his dreams, and the medication only makes him more vulnerable to its attack.


“I believe you.”


Isolated from their unbelieving caregivers, Billy and his friends must act to destroy the threat that they alone know is real.


From the author of Voices of the Void and Muramasa: Blood Drinker comes a tale of childhood isolation, terror, madness, and the faith to overcome it.

David Van Dyke Stewart is a writer, musician, educator, youtuber, and father. A classical and flamenco guitarist trained by the legendary Juan Serrano, he spent the majority of his 20s as a performer in both California and Nevada. In 2013, after more than a decade of performing and teaching while dealing with progressive hearing loss, he returned to an earlier passion, which was writing. He is the author of a dozen books in the fantasy, science fiction, horror, and historical fiction genres.

In 2017, after receiving a bone-anchored hearing system that restored a large portion of his hearing, he returned to music production and released "Memories Adrift," an eclectic instrumental/ambient rock album under "David V. Stewart's Zul."

He lives in rural California with his family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goes from Movie Horror to Real Horror
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2020

A solid horror story. There are some genuinely creepy and unsettling scenes early on that my skin crawling.

The middle of the book felt stale as there was such a long period of time with no threat that it stopped feeling like horror and more like a wacky mystery. Overall, I wasn't feeling too excited about it, but it was interesting enough to keep reading.

The ending though... For some, it will be too much. It crosses over into genuine 'real life' horror and tragedy. It was almost too much for me. That being said, it's a tightly plotted story and very well told, if a little dull in the middle. Five stars, it surprised me.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping and enjoyable horror story that I liked a lot from beginning to end.

Stewart knocks it out of the park once more with Eyes in the Walls, a short horror novel that proves the author's horror skills are well-honed and his talents expansive. The story is a short, punchy one that plays along the lines of childhood fear, the spiritual, and urban legends. The way Stewart handles childhood and in the case of this tale a home fractured by divorce is excellent. I highly recommend Eyes in the Walls to horror fans and those who have enjoyed the author's other works. This one is a home run.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not flawless, but worth the read
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2020

Mr. Stewart’s story is a good read and one that is recommended for fans of King and Koontz. The story has some minor issues, such as some awkward sense of transitions within scenes (the appearance of the monster at times seemed to be presented in too casual a sense), but the overall tone, pace, and development of the plot and characters more than makes up for the flaws. Definitely worth the read and a worthy introduction to this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A horror thriller from a child's point of view.
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2023

"Eyes in the Walls" is a horror thriller told from a child's point of view, similar to some of Stephen King's works. It is set in early 1990s Los Angeles, although the setting is only subtly hinted at rather than spelled out.

The protagonist is a young boy named Billy, whose divorced mother runs a funeral home. Neither of his parents (who have dual custody over him, causing him to alternately live with each of them) pay enough attention to him.

His status quo is shattered when he thinks that he sees a monster in the funeral home's basement. He becomes increasingly convinced that what he witnessed is a monster from a local urban legend. However, the adults in his life don't believe him and believe that he is mentally ill and that the solution is medication.

I don't want to give away much more of the plot than that. The suspense and horror of the story comes from Billy's dual plight of being potentially in the path of a monster while enduring clueless parental treatment that increases his danger rather than keeping him safe. You will not see the ending coming.

The only criticisms that I have to offer are that there are a few mild typos here and there, some of the elements regarding Catholic Saints toward the end feel slightly heavy-handed to me, and I find the descriptions of the interior layout of the labyrinthine funeral home in which a significant potion of the story takes place confusing (a map would have helped significantly). However, these issues are not serious enough to derail my enjoyment of the story, and the latter two are subjective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like a great episode of Tales from the Dark Side
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2023

Stewart takes a scenario that Stephen King or Ray Bradbury might have used, but gives us a satisfying conclusion to the horror: justice is served and right restored, though not without cost. As someone about the same age as the teens in the story in that same era, it struck a chord with me in setting and nostalgia, but also the horror not just of the fantastic kind, but the every day horror of families wrecked by the fallout of the 1960s and 70s.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short but masterfully balanced read

I'm am a fan of Mr Stewart's work on YouTube and this is the third of his books I've read. His strength in the shorter stories holds true here. I really enjoyed this. Read half of it before bed on a Friday and woke up Saturday morning and finished it off over a cup of coffee. The pacing was great, the characterizations were excellent. The telling of the story added some layers that elevated it and really made it worth the time. Pick it up.

Like a Creepypasta that just went on a little too long. I felt the ending had come, but there was still a twist remaining.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the evening
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2020

I am a big fan of David's YouTube channel and I finally got around to reading one of his books. I thought this was a great short story. I thought the characters were pretty well-written and the pacing seemed about right. The horror aspects were enjoyable and the resolution was powerful and clever. I rate it 4 out of 5 because there was times where I felt like the main characters description of things (since it was written in first person perspective) seemed to not match up with his age.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun short read

Well written characters, with an unpredictable plot that leaves you very much surprised in the end. Would recommend this to pretty much any horror fan, as it's a pretty easy read. However there are some disturbing moments that would probably make this inappropriate for younger readers.
