I'm thrilled to announce A DARKER MISCHIEF has received its second ⭐️starred ⭐️ review - from BOOKLIST!

"Milman has a singular gift for creating atmosphere that, with a twist of the sinister, is almost painfully vivid, as is his characterization."

Please enjoy these photos of me letting go of this book now, as this story, and these characters, have been in my head since 2017. OMMGGGG.😭

Okay let's try this again: good alternatives to Substack that are not pricy and do not require one to be tech savvy, and I am emphatic on the latter part; please do not recommend Buttondown. I'm sure it's great but not for me. Also not doing Wordpress. Already use Wix for a different newsletter.
