Smoke and Mirrors

Short Fictions and Illusions

This volume collects thirty stories, poems, and short fictions showcasing dark fantasy, eerie folklore, and magical realism. Everyday encounters collide with strange and supernatural happenings, such as an elderly woman who buys the Holy Grail at a thrift store. Other tales offer subversive retellings of classic stories, including a chilling vampiric take on Snow White and a dark negotiation with a troll living under a bridge.
