The Uncanny Valley…“…is a macabre serenade to a small town that may or may not exist, peopled with alive and dead denizens who wander about the hills and houses with creepy fluidity. Told by individual inhabitants, the stories recount tales of disappearing dead deer, enchanted gardens, invisible killer dogs, and rattlesnakes that fall from the sky; each contribution adds to a composite portrait that skitters between eerie, ghoulish, and poignant. Miller is a master storyteller, clearly delighting in his mischievous creations.”Thirty-Three Tales. Thirty-Three Tellers. One Lost Town.

31 Tiny October Tales

Dark Nights and Candlelight

Former college professor Jay Jarvis has no regrets about the quiet path he chose long ago to follow. Now a veteran middle school teacher in the small town of Still Creek, Pennsylvania, he takes comfort in a life that has become a fixed, safe routine. Then, just two weeks before the start of summer, a child he taught the previous year drowns in Still Creek Quarry. In that instant, the life Jay spent so many years cultivating is irrevocably lost. As the summer draws on, Jay finds himself caught in the spokes of a runaway, unsubstantiated scandal. The crisis deepening and despair growing, he turns in desperation to the only thing that might save him -- his past. A moving, provocative look at regeneration in the face of great adversity, Big Cicadas is the chronicle of a lost man who has one last chance to find himself -- and who, in doing so, may help more people than he can possibly imagine.
