Content Review

The Damned Place by Chris Miller is a story within a story, a daring multi-subgenre horror novel, a twisted Masterpiece. And Chris Miller is a brilliant storyteller.

Chris Miller takes the coming-of-age horror story premise to a new level of sophistication and terror in his novel, The Damned Place. To be clear, the subject matter and content place this story firmly under the heading of Extreme Horror despite the coming-of-age part of the storyline. This novel is for serious adult horrorphiles.

Miller daringly writes this piece in variable third-person limited, shifting perspectives at chapter changes with magnificent skill. This allows for complex characterization and chilling character insight without overwriting or compromising the ever growing, compelling tension of the story. I find this to be an excellent form of storytelling when done right, and Miller does it right!

The Damned Place begins with Miller building a story of horror and suspense, with vivid characters and incredible action and imagery. Then comes the back story, the origin story, in its horrifying, gruesome entirety—a story within a story. What follows is rolling terror and tension I felt in my body as the main story picks back up and repeatedly defies prediction, defies reason, and defies subgenre labels as it climaxes and concludes.

Miller writes without mercy.
No mercy for his characters.
No mercy for his readers.

Supernatural, cosmic, suspenseful, coming-of-age, extreme horror.

The Damned Place is a Masterwork of terror, and Chris Miller is the budding new master of horror!

Note on the physical book: You can’t truly appreciate the size of The Damned Place until you have it in your hands!
