Synopsis
A roadside museum with a link to the supernatural. A washed up pitching phenom remaking his life as a minor league mascot. An elderly magician concealing a devastating secret. A grown-up high school bully obsessed with her former classmate’s glass eye. In Museum of the Americas, Gary Lee Miller presents a remarkable collection of stories that push the boundaries between the real and the fantastic, the universe that is seen and the one that is invisible. There are no easy answers here, no moralistic judgments, just people struggling against stacked odds to bring redemption to their lives.

From the Back Cover
Most remarkable, perhaps, is that Museum of the Americas reveals the inner and outer lives of its characters in the manner of short-fiction geniuses like Munro and Trevor: that is, without rodomontade, without bells and whistles, without the least look-ma-no-hands gesture. We finish a given tale and find ourselves suddenly dazzled: how far we have ranged- how did we travel so widely without ever having quite been conscious of how we were transported? This collection represents art in its truest sense." --Sydney Lea, Vermont Poet Laureate
From the Inside Flap
"Vivid and arresting; the stories have a gentle fabulism that grows darker as Miller plumbs the human psyche." -- Steve Almond
