In "Her Grave Embrace", Miller takes you on a thrill ride that you won't soon forget. This is the most unique horror novel I have ever read. The descriptions of voodoo are unforgetable.

With his impeccible voice, M.G. Miller spins an iniquitous tale of voodoo, passion and madness set in the dark and haunted Louisiana of the late 1800's. Miller's characters fairly ooze from the pages like Black Bayou mud. Every time you catch your breath, something jabs a bony finger in your ribs and beckons you to follow. You'll wonder if this novel was written in blood.

This book is one of the best-crafted novels written in the last decade. Every scene plays out in such detail it's almost as if you can hear the characters tortured cries as the drift through the cypress trees and spanish moss.

What can you say about a book that creates images that follow you into the night. Like a spider, M.G. spins a web that settles imperceptibly around you and doesn't let you go. He captured the mystery of the swamp and created a story that explains why you should feel uneasy when you venture into its inviting depths. Vivid descriptions make the story come alive. No longer will I seek out abandoned plantation houses without thinking of Vanessa and her story.

Wow! This isn't your mother's horror story. "Tales from the Crypt" will seem tame after you read this bolt of lightning. Not for the faint of heart or the prudish, but it's a visit to the darkest of the dark side. Not that it matters to most horror aficionados, but the language and usage are higher class than you find in most popular fiction. I don't mean it's hard to read. It's just a better read. I can't wait for Miller's next book.
