A press release from Michael Molcher of Solaris Books:

Audrey Niffenegger, author of the international best-seller The Time Traveller’s Wife, leads an all-star line-up for an anthology of tales which is guaranteed to leave you spellbound!

Magic brings together some of the UK and America’s most exciting authors to produce a collection of esoteric and arcane stories that will enthrall and chill – the perfect read for Hallowe’en and the long autumn evenings ahead!

From the otherworldly visions of Conan Doyle’s father in Niffenegger’s ‘The Wrong Fairy’ to the diabolical political machinations of Dan Abnett’s ‘Party Tricks’, this fresh new anthology of magical short stories has been edited by Jonathan Oliver, critically acclaimed editor of The End of The Line and House of Fear.

Fourteen extraordinary writers have formed their own particular coven for this collection of supernatural tales.
