Magic and Myth: Short Stories

The stories in Magic and Myth reveal the connection between everyday occurrences and the otherworldly. The place where we pause to reassure ourselves that the world is full of the mundane and unmagical in every way­--even as we check beneath the bed for monsters.

Explore the point where myths collide with humanity and build a home, where unexpected magic crackles in the firelight, and the seasons gather around the dinner table. Crisscrossing these pages are creatures from dreams and legends--love and horror are intertwined, revenge is sweeter than any summer evening, and desire can be enough to reshape reality.

The stories in this collection includes:

Blackberry Baby - based on the fairy tale The Snow Child

The Deer Woman - based on the myth of the Deer Woman

The Black Cat - based on the myths about the boogeyman

Tornado - a piece of magical realism flash fiction about the seasons
