Magic: An Anthology of the Esoteric and Arcane

They gather in darkness, sharing ancient and arcane knowledge as they manipulate the very matter of reality itself. Spells and conjuration; legerdemain and prestidigitation – these are the mistresses and masters of the esoteric arts. Magic comes alive in their hands. British Fantasy Award nominee, Jonathan Oliver, gathers together sixteen stories of magic, featuring some of today’s finest practitioners.contents:Introduction by Jonathan OliverIf I Die, Kill my cat by Sarah LotzThe Wrong Fairy by Audrey NiffeneggerShuffle by Will HillDomestic Magic by Steve Rasnic Tem and Melanie TemCad Coddeu by Liz WilliamsParty Tricks by Dan AbnettFirst and Last and Always by Thana NiveauThe Art of Escapology by Alison LittlewoodThe Baby by Christopher FowlerDo as Thou Wilt by Storm ConstantineBottom Line by Lou MorganMailerDaemon by Sophia McDougallButtons by Gail Z.
