"Empty Sink Publishing contributor Noah Milligan has his short
story, 'The Edge of Things,' published on the Catapult Community
feed. It's a great piece of fiction you should check out and share
with your friends!" -- Empty Sink Publishing "Noah Milligan's 'The
Deep Down Bone of Desire' tells the story of a woman on a downward
spiral of consumerism and obsessive shopping. It's a work of
fiction that will make you think about the many forms the spectre
of addiction can appear in. Fantastic work of fiction that embodies
a very real phenomenon." -- Adam Dubbin, Publisher, Empty Sink
Publishing
"A delightfully intelligent psychological thriller, Noah Milligan's
debut novel is as ambitious and complex as its main character,
Coulter Zahn, who aspires to nothing less than a complete
understanding of the universe. An Elegant Theory intrigues the
mind, thrills the senses, and keeps the reader engaged straight
through to the surprising ending. An auspicious debut." Rilla
Askew, author, Kind of Kin
" An Elegant Theory is a vibrant puzzle of a novel, an unstoppable
forcefull of twists, turns, and surprises while remaining fully
grounded in real life to today. Surely, this is the start of a
great literary career." Jessica Anya Blau, author, The Trouble with
Lexie
" An Elegant Theory is a remarkably suspenseful literary novel --
deeply felt, and truly fascinating. Noah Milligan's ambitious debut
novel is a page-turning story of obsession, and the human mind
stretched to its limit, where we discover both the remarkable power
and fragility of our brains." Peter Mountford, author, A Young
Man's Guide to Late Capitalism and The Dismal Science
" An Elegant Theory is a literary Rorschach test, a mind-bending
ride, in which 'real' conclusions are elusive, and discovery always
waits just beyond the next page." Michelle Anne Schingler, Foreword
Reviews

"From the photographs to the stories and poems to the how-to pieces
in this issue, Kindred not only brings the harvest season to life
on the page, but also accomplishes its goals of bringing the sense
of home and togetherness, fusing two themes of harvest and
community. The piece "Brought to You by Anonymous" by Noah Milligan
brings this sense out in an unusual way. This short fiction takes a
very subtle futuristic story line; if it wasn't for one law the
world has, it could easily take place in 2013. The characters in
this story are not allowed to mow their own lawns, and over the
course of events, end up living in suburban jungles with run-down
cities. The protagonist, an eleven-year-old, socially awkward girl,
takes on an almost vigilante-type personae as she leads a group of
other girls to illegally perform lawn services on the city by
night. Anyone who has ever suffered teen angst of any kind will
appreciate those moments." -- Danielle Rohac, Newpages.com
