Here, for the first time in one volume, are Scaring the Crows and On the Edge of Twilight, Gregory Miller's first two collections of powerful, often wondrous short stories. Together, these 43 tales create a dusky landscape where, in part, the elderly are gifted with otherworldly youth, spiders hide in human form, and ghosts outlast the Earth...where trees remember past lives, scarecrows walk at midnight, and millions of people live through one man's breath. It is a magic place. And a haunted one. Effortlessly spanning numerous genres and styles, Miller imbues his tales with terror and warmth, malevolence and nostalgia...the reason Ray Bradbury once wrote, "Gregory Miller is a fresh new talent with a great future."

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.
