If you read compilations, it’s always nice to spot a name or two that you recognize. If I remember a name, it’s because of a previous story that I read and considered entertaining, which usually bodes well for the book I am considering. This was part of the reason for purchasing this book (the other was World Weaver Press, which hasn’t steered me wrong yet).
This short book of six stories won’t disappoint. The authors present polished tales, stories that are playful yet serious for the characters. There are no incantations to call evil beings, just folks who have various degrees of magic that is part of their lives. Most of the stories involve human nature, wishing for something that can’t be had but what if magic could make it happen? Each story is different, presenting the authors’ individual eye for magic.
My favorite? On any given day I could choose any of these, though “Good Spell Gone Bug” by Laura VanArendonk Baugh is a great tale to begin the book, involving a witch who attempts to remove a spell that was tattooed on her body, resulting in repercussions that must be addressed…and our witch only has three days to fix everything, or else.
If you like witches and magic and are ready for a book that deals with the lighter side of witchcraft, I recommend “Sonofawitch!,” edited by Trysh Thompson. Five stars.
