Synopsis
Magic surrounds us. It is the stuff of creation. The Enlightenment did not kill it with science, nor did the Industrial Revolution extinguish its usefulness with mechanation. And whether mankind is aware of it or not, this timeless power continues to have a hand in the fate of mortals.
There exists in this world, things that logic and reason cannot explain, and there are beings that have never been captured or catalogued. Elves may feel cramped in the big city, but they can get by. As the wild lands disappear, werewolves may have to be a bit more careful, but they still find time to hunt. And devils and demons still prey upon the souls of the wicked and the unwary. Come, explore this world of mystery, wonder, danger, and horror. You may find it to be not unlike the world in which you live. Modern Magic contains twenty-six short stories of fantasy and horror and thirty-five photo-illustrations.Library Journal
Envisioning a darker version of today's world, the 26 authors present tales of the fae, including P. Kirby's story of an unusual attempt to change fate by a precognitive member of the fae and his vampire associate ("Salvation in a Plastic Bag"); wizards, including Jon Allan Sprunk's tale of magic in unlikely places ("Office Magic"); and other supernatural denizens of the modern era. This strong and often graphic collection belongs in most horror or short story collections. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
