"Daniel Mills is a writer to watch"

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."
"If you like your horror well written, haunting and resonant, look no further: Daniel Mills is your Man!"
"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."
