Review Extracts of Tony Mileman's Fiction
"[The] unconventional horror [story]...'Across the Hills'
serves as a brief but bittersweet reminder that in despoiling the earth we
despoil ourselves." Mike O'Driscoll. The Alien On-line (2001)
"Sometimes you can fall in love with a story because of
one beautiful line and this line will be different for everyone. For me in
'Across the Hills'' the line was: 'and in time a myth of trees would be born.' I
loved the story from then on. I love the way this story is written. The language
carries me through it. Excellent work." Terror Tales online (2001)
"Post-modern horror." Whispers of Wickedness
website (2004)
"But it is 'Sexy Beast' that stands out in this
collection. 'It's Wednesday now,' the author writes, 'we're still trapped inside
the skeleton.' As with all of the stories in Nemonymous, the joy is in the
finding and so I won't reveal how we lead up to that line; but this is an
excellent idea that charms the reviewer (and the reader, one would hope)
doo-lally." Infinity Plus (2004)
"One [story] which particularly caught my attention was
[...] SEXY BEAST. This story incorporates themes of obsession and desire
focusing on a married couple and their discovery of strange buried bones. This
story uses a transition between the husband and wife creating an unexpected and
peculiar twist in the tale." New Hope International Review on-line
(2004)
'Other stories of note include [the] steamy, sticky "Sexy Beast."' Jeff Vandermeer (a World Fantasy Award winner). Nemonymous 4, a review (2004)
Review Extracts of Tony Mileman's non-fiction
"The wide ranging interview, conducted by Tony Mileman, is a treat." Peter Tennant (on the Simon Clark bibliography); review here: Whispers of Wickedness
"Tony Mileman has turned detective to track down my fiction to create what must be the most comprehensive bibliography of my shorter works yet...I must thank Tony publicly for his dedication in finding details about a number of stories that I though were lost in the mists of time." Simon Clark (16th October, 2005). This is a reference to the Simon Clark bibliography, available with the current issue of Midnight Street magazine.
Art review
"Other artists getting in on the act include A. C. Evans and Tony Mileman, whose combined efforts provide the magazine with a wealth of variety while at the same time conferring on its pages a consistency of vision." Peter Tennant (on Midnight Street #5); review here: Whispers of Wickedness. I contributed a small graphic art-work to accompany Simon Clark's short story, The Hand of Glory, in Midnight Street #5, 2005.
