Citrus Glade is a small town that has seen its better days.
When a stranger moves in and opens up a new magic shop, the
townsfolk are hopeful that their town can improve, but new
business owner, Lyle Miller, has nefarious plans. His magic
is tailored to fulfill each customer's desire. Four local
boys come to the shop to buy magic tricks; the tricks
aren\'t
so innocent after all. When things start changing around
town, some people start to notice, but is it too late? Lyle
has ensnared more towns people for his Grand Adventure, one
that will endanger Citrus Glade and half the state.
BLACK MAGIC is one wildly inventive and imaginative tale.
Author
Russell James writes about evil, misguided characters, and a
town that refuses to go down easy. The characters were
written with personality and realism. Russell's ability to
color each one, exploring their strengths and weakness,
stood out in the story. A small town that is slowly dying
being visited by an evil is not a new theme, mind you, but
the way the story was handled certainly was. As a creature
lover, I especially liked the thing that revealed itself for
Barry. There are many subplots here that complement the main
one. There are also some squirm-worthy, gore-laden scenes
that are sure to get your ick factor going. BLACK MAGIC is
an
amusing read that I recommend to horror readers.
In this magic shop the magic is real. And the trick is on
you.
Citrus Glade is a dying town that needs new businesses, but
the one that just opened is doing much more harm than good.
Stranger Lyle Miller's magic shop seems to only stock what
its select customers desire. When four outcast boys buy
common party tricks, only Lyle knows what those tricks can
really do. As subtle changes occur around town, a few
residents realize that something is amiss...and getting
worse. But it may already be too late. Lyle's black magic
has empowered more townspeople to help him execute his Grand
Adventure, a plan that will reduce the town, and half the
state, to rubble
