Thomas         Miller
“The Man Who Loved Too Much That Killed Him

A tragic psychological story of a man whose love turns into his undoing. This haunting piece explores obsession, loss, and the thin line between devotion and destruction.”
Thomas Miller

William Gay
“He was driving into a world where the owls roosted with the chickens. Where folks kept Whip-poor-wills for pets and didn't get the Saturday Night Opry till Monday morning.”
William Gay, I Hate to See That Evening Sun Go Down: Collected Stories
