From J. G. Faherty, a veteran horror writer of such awesome books as Cemetery Club, SIns of the Father, The Wakening, Ragman and tons of other spooky thrill rides.
"There is a unique new voice in horror/weird fiction and her name is Mia Dalia. Her talent is immediately evident the moment you start reading Tell Me a Story, a strange but captivating look into the life of Jared, a former junkie who is taken in by the kind but somewhat reclusive Mr. B, who owns a local bookstore, the Story Emporium. The two of them bond over a love of books and small talk, but as the story moves on, the creep factor begins to rise, subtly at first and then with a sudden shift to the supernatural. There are several twists along the way to sad but proper ending.
I really enjoyed this book; there is no gore, no violence, and no creatures. Instead, you get a gentle but totally enchanting story with angels, quirky characters, and a murder mystery. Dalia’s style of writing is easy but not simple, and this book is a welcome change from all the extreme horror saturating the genre today. I recommend it highly!"
From Jim Ody, the esteemed author of The Last Weekend, The Crazy Season, The Place That Never Existed, and oodles of other fine nightmares.
"Wow! That was brilliant! Brilliant writing! It was an honest tender tale with dark and disturbing undertones. I was captivated by the well-crafted characters and was obsessively transfixed until the end! I really loved it. "
From Daemon Manx: Bestselling author of Manx-iety, recipient of 2021 HAG Award, 2021 Splatterpunk Award Nominee.
" A tension-filled page turner! Like a haunted memory, Dalia's intoxicating tale of suspense and second chances will continue to resonate with readers long after the book is closed."
