Hi all,
Today we are discussing an OG Denver Falls resident, Abigail Millar.
Abi first made her appearance, along with the town, in The Willow.
The Willow is a short horror story originally intended as a one-off Halloween story in 2019. However, I fell in love with the town of Denver Falls and decided to pick the story up in a novel.
As a result, The Willow has become an unintentional prequel and can be read either before or after the novel.
But who is the elusive Miss Millar...
