Let these spellcasters work their storytelling magic on you. A marvelous collection!

From back cover: Fantasy is fueled by spells, from those cast by simple love potions to the great workings of magic which can alter the very nature of reality, destroy seemingly all-powerful foes, offer power or punishment, immortality of death. In SPELL FANTASTIC, thirteen of today's finest word wizards have crafted unforgettable tales with which to enchant your imagination.

From a minor wizard running a magic shop who suddenly finds himself the prime suspect in a mysterious murder to a girl discovering her special 'gift' which can reveal who people really are... to a computer with a magic all its own...
Here are thirteen original tales of spells worked to change destiny for good or ill.

Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Robin Wayne Bailey, Michelle West, Jane Lindskold, Mickey Zucker Reichert, Dennis L. McKiernan, John DeChancie, Lisanne Norman, Diana Paxson, Rosemary Edghill, Julie E. Czerneda and Charles de Lint
