Seven from Haven
Seven gentle tales of the paranormal with O'Henry-like sensibility, charm and humor
Set in a small Pennsylvania mountain village, where strange and wondrous things happen, Seven from Haven are quirky, fantastical Twilight Zone-like short stories which prove what they say about this town: “Haven takes care of its own.”
"The stories are magical. Grotta teases us with very precise detail and almost journalistic scene setting, then when we're not quite looking carries us gently into a world of soft boundaries, unexplained visitations, and of deep, deep hope and simple courage. These stories speak from and directly to the heart.” - David Zarko
Daniel Grotta
A former war correspondent, investigative reporter, editor and critic, Daniel Grotta has written literally thousands of articles, reviews and columns for major magazines, newspapers and online journals. He has also written several books, including J.R.R. Tolkien: Architect of Middle Earth, the renowned first biography of the creator of The Lord of the Rings. Among his many accolades and awards is one that stands apart from the rest: His writings were, at one point, the most requested to be recorded as audio files by Reading for the Blind in Philadelphia, because of the visual clarity and beauty of his prose. Grotta is also the author of Honor a Black Bear, Pennsylvania novella (Pixel Hall Press) which is currently being developed as a theatrical play by the playwright David Zarko.
