Thomas Maltman

Thomas Maltman is an American author best known for his richly atmospheric novels rooted in Midwestern history and folklore. His debut novel, "The Night Birds," a sweeping tale of a Dakota family haunted by the legacy of the 1862 U.S.-Dakota War, earned widespread critical acclaim and announced him as a powerful new voice in literary fiction. His follow-up, "Ashes to Ashes," further showcases his talent for weaving together memory, myth, and moral reckoning against the rugged Minnesota landscape. Maltman's prose is lyrical and deeply evocative, drawing readers into worlds where the past casts long, inescapable shadows over the present.
