Darcy Miller

A horror anthology with three stories connected by the thread of alienation and confusion within the seemingly ideal backdrop of suburban America.

Top photojournalist David Marshall endures a failed marriage rather than leave the children he loves. His wife Diane, abused in childhood, depressed, drinking and fearful, files unfounded charges of abuse and David's world shatters. Evicted, friendless, and emotionally battered, his career crumbles and the courts bar him from his children. David's struggle to rebuild his life carries him to brilliant psychiatrist, Rebecca Miller. She nurtures abused children but conceals her own shadowy secrets. Katherine Avery, gifted, idiosyncratic Downtown artist, offers David a refuge and shares her bed, but she'll sacrifice anything for success - even love. Despondent, David is drawn to cyber sex by submissive Internet incarnation, Sublimate. She uncovers his darkest fantasies but frees him to take control of his own life. When his Web fantasy woman enters his real life, the truth, especially about himself, becomes startlingly clear.

When her father suddenly takes his own life, his four-year-old daughter must try to understand death, love, and loneliness through her mother’s strangely colorful bedtime stories.
