Among the Lilies

A collection of 12 grotesqueries inspired by the natural and psychological landscapes of New England and by the ghosts that walk the places in-between.

The long-awaited new collection of short stories from Daniel Mills, whose literary antecedents include Poe, Hawthorne, Vernon Lee, and John Darnielle. A visionary and poetic stylist. Contains the long out-of-print novella "The Account of David Stonehouse, Exile," and two new stories written expressly for this collection.

"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
