I live in the UK near the Bronte moors where I walk my rescue dog, Roxy. I write dark fiction, and ghost stories. I was obsessed with historic haunted houses growing up and old movies especially film noirs of the 1940's. I blend the two genres in my fiction. I teach creative writing, edit and mentor writers. Away from my writing I swim, craft, sing, eat chocolate and laugh a lot with friends.
G.A. Miller did not choose to write horror. Horror chose him. Influences began in the late 1950s and have continued to flourish in his mind to this very day, coupled with an active imagination.
His publication history began in the premiere issue of “Hinnom Magazine”, and in anthologies from Gehenna & Hinnom publishers and Patrick Reuman (making their debut in fall, 2017), and has since added works in numerous publications, along with self-published collections available on Amazon.
G.A. lives where Lovecraft lived, due south of where King lives. Perhaps there’s something in the water in New England? One wonders…

Based in the (very) far north of Scotland I write horror and speculative fiction at the top of the map.
I enjoy reading a wide variety of work with a particular soft spot for William Gibson, Angela Carter and Pablo Neruda, though I am also just at home with some Clive Barker or Ramsey Campbell! You can find me on my socials, though this is mostly dog and garden pictures, and I am often best reached through my website.
My interests outside of writing are music, book festivals, dark comedy, and pugs.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2021This is a cool idea for a horror anthology. The stories relate to different level’s of Dante’s Inferno. My faves:
“MaXXed Out” by Alyson Faye horrified me. (In a good way, after all, this is a dark anthology.) It took me a few pages to realize what was going on. Super gross. Faye did a wonderful job with this one.
“Elixer” by Kev Harrison because I recognized the snake oil type of setup, but I didn’t expect the payoff to be so reader-traumatic!
“Alone” by Steve Stred was the most emotional story for me. Wonderfully written and so . . . hellish.
In “Doomed to Repeat” by Daniel R. Robichaud, the sense of dread was palpable (even when mixed with a kind of smirky humor). I kept telling Benny, the protagonist, nooo, don’t do that!
Oh, the powerful opening line in “Lex Talionis” by Lionel Ray Green, I had to stop and catch my breath before reading on! This is a historical plague story featuring an erudite plague doctor who quotes Plato. The story is rich with Biblical illusions, and the ending is ever so satisfying.
There weren’t any stories that I did not like, but there were two that I didn’t connect with style-wise. Anthologies are hard to rate because of the different authors and individual readers’ style preferences. I took off half a star for the stories that didn’t quite do it for me.
I was glad to see this book on Kindle Unlimited, made it easy to give it a try. 4.5 hellishly flaming stars!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2020The quickest way to get this horror-loving reader to pick up an anthology is to start with a cool concept...stories written for each circle of Hell from Dante's Inferno from The Divine Comedy. I wasn't as familiar with them as the good ol' seven deadly sins and had to keep a browser tab open to follow along with which sins went with what circles, but not having them memorized isn't going to hinder anyone's enjoyment too much.
I've never reviewed an anthology before, so I wasn't sure the best way to write about this book. I think I'm just going to cover the stories that really worked for me:
HER KNIFE IS HUNGER. HER CUP IS THIRST by Shannon Felton: A priest and a spiritualist investigate an empty house where there's been a rash of suicides. This story went in an unexpected direction and creeped me out.
OFF COURSE by Cassie Daley: People lust for more than sex. Sometimes sex is just a substitute for something else. I really wanted to know how this one was going to end, because let's be honest, in a book based on circles of Hell it's not going to end well.
CERBERUS by TC Parker: Voracious appetites can be for more than just food. I enjoy non-linear storytelling and read this one twice.
ELIXER by Kev Harrison: Faustian and fun take on multilevel marketing/herbal supplements.
AT THE BOTTOM OF MY LAKE OF BLOOD by V. Castro: A tale of the rebirth of a goddess and her plans for the world. Viciously beautiful.
ALONE by Steve Stred: I was left thinking about the forrest in this story way after I finished reading about it.
FIRE-STARTER by Stephanie Ellis: A demon in disguise in London. This was my favorite story in the collection; I want to spend more time in this world and know what happens next.
LEX TALIONIS by Lionel Ray Green: A plague doctor arrives in a small village where there's more going on than the villagers are saying. I had a good time watching this play out to its conclusion.
All of the stories in INFERNO have something to offer horror fans. There's a lot to enjoy here, with 18 stories and an intro from Hailey Piper (read it again after you read the book; it was fun to mentally go back through the stories she hinted at). If you're even a little intrigued by the concept, you should check it out!
3.5 stars rounded up to 4
- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2020The idea for this anthology is a trip through Dante's Inferno and the Nine Circles of Hell.
First Circle (Limbo)
Second Circle (Lust)
Third Circle (Gluttony)
Fourth Circle (Greed)
Fifth Circle (Wrath)
Sixth Circle (Heresy)
Seventh Circle (Violence)
Eighth Circle (Fraud)
Ninth Circle (Treachery)
Instead of the Roman poet, Virgil, your guide through this anthology are editors, Stephanie Ellis and Alyson Faye with a foreword, Stepping Into the Inferno by Hailey Piper. I absolutely loved this introduction-Hailey is an author I only discovered this year but I am already a huge fan. Anything she lends her voice to is lucky to have her.
As with most anthologies and collections, not every story is going to stick the landing with every reader, and such is the case here. I'll highlight the stories that were successful for me.
*LIMBO by Lynn Love- I enjoyed this story. A woman named Irene has been an in-home caretaker for a nasty old woman in a wheelchair for 15 years. One day, a mysterious visitor shows up and knocks on the door. Irene finds a glimmer of hope that her life could be different.
*HER KNIFE IS HUNGER, HER CUP IS THIRST by Shannon Felton- A spiritualist is investigating a dilapidated home where people have taken their own life in the bathtub. Felton brought some freshness to a familiar haunted house trope. I appreciated the unique direction the story took, even if it confused me a little at first. By the end, I was a fan. Creepy & unsettling.
*OFF COURSE by Cassie Daley- Emma has unhealthy thoughts and urges. She tries to suppress her unusual desires but they are always right there under the surface. Emma tries sex, love, and the distraction of a relationship to no avail. Daley has a naturally authentic storytelling voice. I found myself settling into the even tone and steady pace. Obviously, because this is a short story, the character development is a little thin, but I could see a full-length novel with similar themes in Daley's future.
*CERBERUS by TC Parker- I liked the style of this story. Switching back and forth from a present-day narrative to a flashback of how the protagonist met her lover was very compelling. I loved the ending.
*ELIXIR by Kev Harrison- This story resonated with me because I have actually known people who are/were this obsessed with herbal supplements. Of course, Harrison puts a horror twist on this otherwise true-to-life scenario. Another great ending too.
*AT THE BOTTOM OF MY LAKE OF BLOOD by V. Castro- An epic tale of a "goddess cast aside", she makes her way to a temple built by human worshippers in Yucatan, Mexico. The goddess commands her legion to unleash hell on the wicked, "creators of hatred, defilers of children, rapists & murderers" and then her desire is to take human form. Man, this is an unflinching story of raw, unadulterated power, strength, and vengeance.
*ALONE by Steve Stred- a haunting tale of a man's personal, relentless hell.
*FIRE-STARTER by Stephanie Ellis- possibly my favorite in the collection and featuring one of the foulest monsters I've ever read about, Geryon--preying on the weak (children) and those that won't be missed (prostitutes). Ellis perfectly nailed the dialects-and I'm not a huge fan of dialects, they tend to be distracting but I felt like they were perfectly employed here.
