Gregory Miller writes: “…time fades old frights.” A clever line yet not quite true, if one is to believe these stories, many of which feature the departed and their undiminished entanglement with the living. Miller walks an undulating line between the creepy and nostalgic, the macabre and sweet, the malevolent and innocent – a provocative blend that leaves the reader wistful for many who have passed, but also relieved to leave some of the more vindictive spirits behind. In short, this collection, his third, is a tapestry of diverse tales that resonate in surprising and unusual ways.

Review
"A fresh new talent with a great future."
--Ray Bradbury
"Gregory Miller remains an effective writer with nuanced characterizations and eerily intriguing settings. But mainly he has a wild imagination that takes you in unexpected directions."
--Piers Anthony, bestselling author of the Xanth and Incarnations of Immortality series
"Miller's writing seems to echo Ray Bradbury in some instances and Edgar Allan Poe in others. However, his prose is unique and his inventiveness truly hits the reader...Miller shines."
--Austin Post
"A master storyteller."
--Laury A. Egan, author of Fog and Other Stories and Jenny Kidd
