“Seven From Haven” by Daniel Grotta is a collection of gentle tales of the paranormal that has been compared to the old Twilight Zone TV shows, with O’Henry-like sensibilities, charm and humor.. Readers and critics alike are praising its magical sense of wonder.
“The stories are magical. Grotta teases us with very precise detail and almost journalistic scene setting, then when we’re not quite looking carries us gently into a world of soft boundaries, unexplained visitations, and of deep, deep hope and simple courage. These stories speak from and directly to the heart.” – David Zarko, playwright
“You know that feeling you get after watching ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’? When I finished reading [Seven From Haven] I had to wipe a tear away, and sighed, ‘That was wonderful.’” ~ Wendy Delmater, “Abyss & Apex Magazine.”
“Cuddle up with a book of friendly ghost stories that will make you think and even smile.” ~ Ginny Privitar, “The Courier”

ABOUT PIXEL HALL PRESS
Pixel Hall Press is a relatively new, old-fashioned small publishing house whose focus is on discovering literary gems and great stories that might have otherwise been overlooked.
In this era of digital technology, Wall Street involvement and merger mania, mainstream publishers seem to have lost sight of the core principles and purpose of publishing. At the other end of the spectrum is an avalanche of self-published books that are notoriously uneven in quality. Small boutique imprints, such as Pixel Hall Press, are reclaiming the heart and soul of publishing by reviving the idea that a publisher’s raison d’être is to find and nurture great writers, and to provide readers with beautiful, meaningful, truly enjoyable books.
