In the earliest days of humankind, everything in the world
seemed
magical. Gods and demons, spirits and sprites were
considered to be
responsible for everything from life and death, to the
turning of the
seasons, to the abundance or failure of crops.
Today, much that was once attributed to magic has been
explained by
science, and in our technologically driven world, the
question is
whether there is still a place for magic. For twenty of
fantasy’s
finest imaginers, the answer is obviously, “Yes.”
So welcome to visionary, modern-day realms of magic where
surprising
things can still happen. From a Gypsy fortune-teller’s
transforming
prophecy…to a troubled teen seeking a haven from his family
woes…to a
mysterious gathering of cats at Cape Canavaral…and a kid out
to spook
his best friend into believing that werewolves are real…here are
stories that will amuse you or send chills down your
spine—or have you
looking wistfully around the next corner, hoping to find a
bit of magic
all your own...
