What You See May Not Be is a multi-character perspective into the mind of a strange man named Dave. Throughout this work of fiction, the reader will be immersed in the mind of a man whose favorite movie is Silence of the Lambs, and he finds inappropriate places in which to quote and enact this movie. As with all of Reid Matthias's novels, the gamut of emotions are felt: humor, pain, sadness, tragedy, and deep introspection into what makes human beings tick. As the story unfolds, Dave gathers people around him like bees on honey. Wherever he goes, he creates community, while at the same time, his mysterious nature makes people wonder who he truly is and why there seems to be shrouded secrets surrounding him. Dark things. Uspoken things.
When his fiancee's daughter becomes sick, Dave's world is turned upside down, and Dave's plummet into the depths of his past reveal unimageable tragedy. Where will it end?
