Jeff Miller has published Ghost Pine (originally Otaku) since 1996. Whether documenting his youth in suburban Ottawa in the late 1990s, travels across North America or his current home of Montreal, Miller’s autobiographical stories isolate the small moments and overlooked details of everyday life. His stories are equal measures funny and sad, nostalgic and unsentimental, punk rock and grandparents.
Ghost Pine: All Stories True (Invisible Publishing) collects the best stories from the zine’s first thirteen years as well as over fifty pages of new and previously unpublished material.
Over the years, Miller has sold nearly ten thousand copies of his long-running, self-published zine, putting him at the forefront of a thriving underground cultural movement. His writing has also appeared in The 2nd Hand, Broken Pencil, Zine Yearbook and The Art of Trespassing (Invisible Publishing).
Born and raised in Ottawa, he has lived in Montreal for the past decade, where he continues to write.
