About this book
Jan Miklaszewicz’s The Devil in Mia is a dark fiction novella centered on the troubled Smith family. Matt is selfish and drinks too much, while his patient wife becomes entangled with a deeply sinister presence. As chaos takes hold and the threat to her life grows, their already strained home turns into something far more dangerous.

This standalone entry in the Hartmouth Horrors series delivers a nasty streak of irreverent darkness, mixing domestic trouble with escalating menace as it asks whether he can finally become the man the moment demands.
