"Revisit[s] our very recent tragedies with humor, grace and goodwill. Miller scribbled literary snapshots of people, some saints, others knaves. His accounts of compassion, chaos, paranoia, insensitivity, and grace echo gently, like distant birdsong." (Dayton Daily News) "I already knew that Miller has a gift for describing tragedies in stunning and beautiful ways. In Pandemonium Logs we experience what it was like to be in the COVID trenches, remote, on-line trenches, but trenches nevertheless. 'Tis a beautiful thing. Not the virus, this book." (Book Nook) "Nearly every entry rings with universality.

Maybe because the text is so honest, so forthcoming, it becomes a bit of a salve for the wounds we've assumed are gone because we've ignored them as we've 'returned to normal.' Pandemonium Logs is a frank and gentle reminder that we have all been changed by COVID-19 that allows and encourages readers to care for ourselves, however we are today." (Little Village Magazine) "This is what I suspect Kafka would have sounded like had he been raised on a steady diet of midwestern irony. Yet Ben Miller's Pandemonium Logs is not just a writer's disenchanted account of working in a telehealth intensive care unit in COVID-skeptical South Dakota. In spare, wry prose, Miller explores the full weirdness of his situation-a helper of helpers plunged into the heart of the pandemic yet still removed from it. A profound meditation on the fragility of life, delivered in a voice that is both irresistibly intimate and unfailingly precise." - Christoph Irmscher (author of The Poetics of Natural History) "In this chronicle of the COVID pandemic's era of e-medicine and its quietly surreal mundanity, Ben Miller depicts the brave, underpaid, overworked lives of his fellow healthcare workers and their desperately sick patients. His precise descriptive eye, coupled with his compassionate restraint, imbues their lives with both dignity and mystery.
