Boys, Beasts, & Men

- Reviews -

Advance Praise for Boys, Beasts, and Men"This is the collection you are looking for. Explosive, careening, shape-shifting tales . . . haunting and defiantly tender. " --Ben Loory, author of Tales of Falling and Flying"Even in the darkest of these perfectly crafted stories, Sam Miller' s tragic boys yearn to be good instead of bad, strong instead of weak, whole instead of broken. May your heart ache with love for every doomed one of them; I know mine did. " --Andy Davidson, author of The Boatman' s Daughter"The stories in this collection offer a nuanced and beautiful exploration of masculinity and the many faces of love, touching on romance, desire, family, and friendship, all presented through the lens of the fantastic--with literally mind-altering drugs, resurrected dinosaurs, near-future worlds in post environmental collapse, and of course, monsters. " --A. C. Wise, author of The Kissing Booth Girl and Other Stories"Miller' s sheer talent shines through in abundance . . . Boys, Beasts & Men is an outrageous journey which skillfully blends genres and will haunt you with its original, poetic voices as much as its victims, villains, and treasure trove of leading actors. --Grimdark Magazine"In these stories Sam J. Miller writes about people on the margins and in transition, both capturing a sense of uncertainty and horror while immersing us in these worlds with sensitivity and care. " --Carrie Vaughn, author of The Immortal Conquistador"The very best horror in all its ghoulish, glorious humanity. " --Deborah Miller, two-time winner of the PEN Syndicated Fiction Award "Loneliness, manhood, and ferocious queer joy . . . thick with both the tenderness and ugliness of imperfect relationships. " --Publishers Weekly"Sam Miller is my hero: a fearless visionary whose stories are at once vivid, electrifying, brutal, and full of heart. Oh, the heat of them. " --Sarah Pinsker, author of Sooner or Later Everything Falls Into the SeaPraise for Sam J. Miller "[Miller] will tear your heart in two and then gently place the pieces back inside your chest--while reminding you to have a sandwich and love yourself. " --NPR"Sam J. Miller has proven himself a force to be reckoned with. " --Barnes & Noble "Sam J. Miller has cemented his status as one of the most visionary fiction writers of his generation. " --Kass Morgan, New York Times bestselling author of The 100 "Like Clive Barker, Miller has a great talent for creating interesting characters and building up quiet dread. " --San Francisco ChroniclePraise for The Art of Starving[STARRED REVIEW] "A dark and lovely tale of supernatural vengeance and self-destruction. " --Kirkus[STARRED REVIEW]"Miller' s creative portrait of a complex and sympathetic individual will provide a welcome mirror for kindred spirits. " --Booklist[STARRED REVIEW] "Matt is a master at suppressing his urges, but there is nothing romantic about debut novelist Miller' s portrayal of anorexia . . . brutally honest. " --Publishers WeeklyPraise for Blackfish City"Immersive sci-fi with a poetic edge. . . . The book thrills with its meticulous world-building while also providing great characters, inclusive representation, and hard-hitting themes. " --Entertainment Weekly[A] gripping novel full of vivid descriptions, compelling characters, timely urgency, and thrilling action. An immediate page-turner. " --The Advocate"Blackfish City feels like a place I' ve never seen in a story before, but I came away feeling as though I' d lived there forever. One of the most intriguing future cities in years. " --Charlie Jane Anders, award-winning author of All the Birds in The Sky"A timeless story of rebellion against a corrupt master, giving it a kind of Hunger Games resonance that reaches beyond any genre boundaries. " --BooklistPraise for Destroy All Monsters"Laini Taylor meets John Green in this poignant young adult tale of parallel worlds and deep magic where trauma breaks but friendship heals. " --Rebecca Roanhorse, author of Trail of Lightning"In this beautiful book are visions of what we might look like as victims, as villains, but, most importantly, as heroes. " --Tochi Onyebuchi, author of Beasts Made of Night"Explosively beautiful, wild, and fresh, Destroy All Monsters is uplifting and challenging and painful and still somehow joyous all the way through. " --Daniel Jose Older, author of the Shadowshaper series Praise for The Blade Between"One of the best books I' ve read in 2020. Miller' s prose is phenomenal. " --Tor. com [STARRED REVIEW] "Raw and volatile. . . . Highly recommended for anyone looking for a queer-themed, sea salt-laced dark fantasy. " --Booklist"A successful ' influencer' photographer returns to the gentrifying hometown that nearly broke him, and all hell breaks loose. The Blade Between is as addictive and brutal as it is smart and challenging!" --Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World
