I wouldn't use Consuming Aberration. It's too expensive and removal is rampent in modern.
I can give some suggestions but take a look at XYMystral's deck Mill to Oblivion. He does an excellent job with his mill deck.

Crypt Incursion is a solid way to gain life in a mill deck

The modern format is quick, and cards like Jace, Memory Adept and Traumatize is too slow. besides, by the time you can even cast Traumatize, a good amount of their deck should already be gone. instead, I like a playset of Hedron Crab since its a chump blocker when you don't need it, and with fetch lands, a great mill card when you do. Paranoid Delusions is a card that contradicts itself, because it's meant for a mill strategy but is only good when you're aggressive. so, maybe you should replace it, and replace Vampire Nighthawk too, for more control, cards like Damnation and Cryptic Command and Go for the Throat and Spell Snare could replace some of these cards. also, a strong land for mill is Nephalia Drownyard. in fact, what is possible, is you can literally drop all of the mill cards (other than Archive Trap since fetchlands are common, Hedron Crab, and maybe a few Mind Funerals since people fetch lands out of their deck so Mind Funeral mills more), and play a full out control deck with a playset of Nephalia Drownyard. just counter and kill creatures, and at the end of your opponents turn, if you have the mana, activate the drownyard. it worked well in standard, and with proper carding, can work well in modern too(maybe). eventually, you will kill them with the repeated activations(kinda like a USA control deck in modern that wins by activating Celestial Colonnade over and over until someone dies). and you can sideboard Crucible of Worlds to protect the drownyards. sorry for the long comment :P

I have a mill deck myself and Haunting Echoes hurts a lot of decks that are played right now. Almost no deck plays more than 8 basic lands. Maybe as a sideboard card against affinity? I love turn 5 mill outs. always awesome. and the turn 0 Archive Trap has people scared at a lgs I play at. +1 for being mill!!

So, this is what I meant when I said you can drop alot of the mill cards for more control: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/17-02-16-modern-mill/ (just a list I put together real quick. The sideboard in my list needs more work, as in one more Damnation). The deck works by controling your opponent, and every time it's the opponent's endstep, if you have the mana, you can activate Nephalia Drownyard. It sounds slow, but it actually works well, espicially with a few Archive Traps and Mind Funerals to speed it up.

You can make decks into links by doing: [ [ deck:17-02-16-modern-mill/ ] ] (without the spaces) just paste the last part of the address after mtg-decks in and it should work like this: Modern Mill
Or you can do a large version:
Modern Mill
Modern
SCORE: 0 | 2 COMMENTS | 10 VIEWS
To do that, do: [ [deck-large:17-02-16-modern-mill/] ] (again without the spaces.)

In order for it to be useful, it needs to much mana.
