<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Winner of 2020 Midwest Book Award for Fiction - Fantasy/SciFi/Horror/ Paranormal! Loren Niemi's first published story collection is an evocative compendium of tales he has performed on many stages, along with new explorations of mysteries that arise at the intersection of the ordinary, flicker in the imagination, and dwell in memory.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Loren Niemi's work has been called post-modern, "with the dark beauty of language that is not ashamed of poetry," according to Kate Lutz.</p><p>"What Haunts Us" is a collection of fifteen short stories that speak from the page in the voice of the storyteller - at turns comical, unsettling, heartbreaking and wondrous - evoking the full range of human behavior and emotion. From tales set in the northern Minnesota Boundary Waters, to the millennia-spanning landscapes of Europe and the United States, these are stories brimming with a dynamic sense of place and person, imbued with a sense of grounded reality.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Loren Niemi is a storyteller <em>extraordinaire</em>, whether he is telling stories on a stage, or writing them at home. His latest book, <em>What Haunts Us</em>, is an intriguing collection of tales about the little people and things in life that can turn ghostly in the flick of your eyelids. Niemi has a sharp eye for the magic of our existence and for depicting the reality of the unreal. His mundane characters do not question serendipity or the encounters with a supernatural world. They live their lives simply and bravely in unusual circumstances. What is haunting about this book is Niemi's appreciation and empathy of common folk, whose vital lives are more significant than those celebrities we tend to worship." - Jack Zipes, Author of <em>The Sorcerer's Apprentice: An Anthology of Magical Tales</em><br /> <br /> "A collection of fifteen short stories that speak from the page in a narrative voice that is strongly oral and intimately evocative. Often sensual, occasionallyunsettling, these stories have a dynamic sense of place that imbues each tale, however disquieting, with a sense of grounded reality that will transport readers to the worlds Niemi has so distinctly imagined." - Janice Del Negro, Ph.D. Author of <em>Willa and the Wind</em> and <em>Lucy Dove</em></p><br>
