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.

This review is from: Modern Magic: Tales of Fantasy and Horror (Paperback)
As a long time reader of Horner's excellent collections of fantasy and dark fantasy, I'm excited about this new release! I am an author in it, so that makes it even better. I was able to check out the early drafts of this book last summer. The talent is amazing and the art is wonderful. Support William Horner's crusade to develop new talent in fantasy fiction! Buy and enjoy this book!

Wonderful Group of Stories,
This review is from: Modern Magic: Tales of Fantasy and Horror (Paperback)
I have read thousands of books and I have to admit that anthologies are some of my favorite books. This book had so many different stories , each one was just the right size to be savored like a sip of wine and a chocolate covered strawberry. Just delicious. And I am not an author.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Another contributor chimes in...sort of.,
This review is from: Modern Magic: Tales of Fantasy and Horror (Paperback)
As one of the authors in this collection, I abstain from commenting on what I think of the works in this collection because I don't want to be immediately seen as a worthlessly biased opinion.
I *will* say, however, that William Horner has obviously worked very hard to put together what looks like a great collection of even, solid work in horror/dark fantasy. The illustrations for the stories look good, the overall publication of the pieces are excellent, and I think it's a worthy read right alongside any significant year's collection of this genre's best.
