"Daniel Mills is a master of telling tales. . . ." ―The New York Journal of Books "Daniel Mills is a writer to watch" - Black Static Magazine "Mills has a poetic and visionary style of his own, capable of uncovering the beauty in horror and the horror in beauty." - Reggie Oliver, Author of The Sea of Blood A pleasure to read, Daniel Mills's fiction would draw approving nods from any of the austere presences in whose literary footsteps he is following." - John Langan, Author of The Fisherman "If you like your horror well written, haunting and resonant, look no further: Daniel Mills is your Man!" - Rue Morgue Magazine "Daniel Mills is a modern master of the unspoken, a classical horror miniaturist whose writing references the bleak and existentially dread-full gothic Americana of Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Best read out loud around a failing fire on a darksome plain, as night sets in." - Gemma Files, Shirley Jackson award-winning author of Experimental Film
