Review 31 review UnAmerican Activities

"So, a dirty great Big Mac of a book. UnAmerican Activities is a guilty pleasure, as well as a finely crafted collection of short stories in disguise. Best washed down with a double bourbon and crucifix to hand, the tales here linger long and potently in the imagination. The book’s publisher, tiny indie Dodo Ink, has fast established an enviable reputation for adventurous and transgressive fiction that is supremely well-written... these new stories by James Miller are a fine addition to its list."

You can read the whole review here.





Londnr Review UnAmerican Activities

"Miller’s collection is a triumph of fucked up fiction. It’s crude, unstable, and buoyant with underlying messages that you can opt in or out of at your pleasure."

You can read the whole review here.

Exit Earth





Storgy review UnAmerican Activities

"UnAmerican Activities should be winning awards for its unapologetic approach. Its tightly woven and varying plots that are masterfully executed with Millers exquisite prose that at times reminded me of the great Hunter S Thompson... UnAmerican Activities is bold, daring and downright brilliant. I can’t wait to see what Miller comes up with next."

Read the whole review here.





Bookmunch review UnAmerican Activities

"UnAmerican Activities is a little masterpiece"

Read the whole review here.





Manchester Review of Books review UnAmerican Activities

"UnAmerican Activities breaks enough genre conventions and rings enough lit crit bells that I would hope it appeals to a discerning readership as well. It deserves to be widely read. Every story is tightly plotted, the prose is controlled and well-paced, while the publishers – Dodo Ink – have presented the work beautifully. I would highly recommend reading it."

Read the whole review here.





Area 52 in Open Pen magazine

"Today, we finally reached the much anticipated San Luis valley. For weeks we’ve been watching the footage on YouTube of the UFO, as Jake sees it, or just the weird lights in the sky, as I keep telling him."

UnAmerican Activities Reviewed on Never Imitate blog

"As a work of literature it is impressive in its lightly presented depth. A subversive, deliciously indecorous, gratifying read."

Great review of my new novel on the neverimitate book blog.





Strays

Strays is a collaborative poetry collection based on my novel Lost Boys. The poet Julia Rose Lewis took my novel Lost Boys and elegantly deconstructed it into a series of found and response poems. The result is a sort of haunting, an extracted, compressed essence of the novel that distils, subverts and echos my original words and intentions through a series of uncanny formulations. The book is published by HVTN. You can buy it here.





Preface to Strays

The poet Julia Rose Lewis has rewritten/reworked my novel Lost Boys for her new collection Strays.

You can read about the process of collaboration and a selection of the Lost Boys poems from the collection here.

On Monday 29th October I'm going to be appearing with the Moss Project at the Newcastle Literary and Philosophical Society for a collaborative evening of words and music.
