FINALIST, Short Stories, National Indie Excellence Awards (NIEA) (2026)Unnatural events pivot otherwise unremarkable people into surreal conflicts and resolutions in The Caged Man, Calvin Mills' debut collection. From a young woman secretly preventing pregnancy on a European vacation, to a celebrity corpse in rural Colombia, these tales, like the fiction of Haruki Murakami and Gabriel Garcia-Marquez, weave realistic stories with tales, sad realities with the surreal.

Through his characters' isolation, grief, and longing, Calvin Mills makes us see the fantastic in the mundane. Read more
