Description:
Generally set in the distant past, the stories in Daniel Mills' remarkable Among the Lilies hence have a classical feel, but without ever seeming like pastiches of the work of past masters. At the same time, in the pursuit of his obsessions, Mills' stories are unlike most of the weird fiction and horror one encounters today. These are histories within histories, sediment layers of grief and madness, filled with fossilized ghosts. Herein are recurring themes of religious mania, the mournful fusion of beauty and decay, feverish childhoods and their haunted aftermaths, self destruction and living death. Daniel Mills' work is very much his own, and as such stands out as something to be relished. -Jeffrey Thomas, author of Punktown
