When Magic Calls: A Collection of Modern Fairy Tales

Once upon a time in a land not so far away, in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, a jealous girl stole a magical artifact from a fairy tale museum. 

Right now, in the wilds of the Rocky Mountains, a man studies a girl living with and raised by a wolf pack, but soon watching won’t be enough. 

Tonight, in a city a storm will rage, waking a boy from a deadly dream and propelling him toward the insidious darkness of his ancestry. 

Fairy tales are taking place all around us in modern times. Look closely and you will witness the magic, terror, and impossible riches or perhaps discover you are in the midst of a tale of your own.

Each story is illustrated and contains a bit of magic.
