When you open the cover on this book, you are entering a world of fantasy. The stories in this collection travel in time, have weird creatures and hold a touch of dystopian woven in them. There are none alike and all entertain.
Book View Cafe and Library Thing gave me the opportunity read this ebook for review (thank you). You can buy it now here: Space Magic The individual stories are available, too, if you'd prefer to just taste the work. I enjoyed reading them all.
My favorite (which should surprise no one) is The Ecology of Faerie. This is not a nice story, but it charmed me. The faerie was evil and the girl in the story figured out how to get rid of her. Be careful of creatures who walk in the night...
I also enjoyed Zauberschrift. It's about the death of a wizard and the bad things that are happening to the village. When the failed apprentice is called back by his sister, he never expects to find what he does.
There is a mix of space stories, ghosts, paranormal and more in this selection of stories. They all had an ironic touch, which I like. They're not boring.
Mr. Levine has a good imagination and you feel he's lived in these worlds he creates. It's a good read, why not snag a copy?
Happy reading.

The Prosecution Rests edited by Linda Fairstein
My favorite reads are mystery short stories, and this book was fun for me to review!
There are 21 new stories about courtroom fights, legal shenanigans, and even lawyer murder.
In one case, the lawyer planned the death of a husband so he could have the wife - but, instead, there's an ironic ending - I liked it!
Then there's the lawyer who thought he was going to win the luscious wife and the fortune the murdered man left. But when he goes to court to try the case, he finds out the witnesses lied, the accused murder is not what he seems, and the case goes awry. He also finds himself in jail!
None of these stories are boring. They're fast paced and good reading.
