These Strange and Magic Things brings together fifteen tales that showcase why he's among the finest writers of the strange and fantastic working in Australia right now.Love is the Roar of a Chainsaw, Cutting Flesh in the Night - Their zombie survival kit started as a private joke, but now Nat and Vince take it a bit too seriously. An ill-conceived comment unravels their relationship, but when the worst actually happens, Vince needs to make an important choice.The Mike And Carly Story, Without The Gossip - High school is hard enough for regularly people, but when Mike learns he's a werewolf, everything gets far more complicated. Not least the fact that he likes Carly, and turning into a werewolf seems to have invited the possibility that she might like him back.Counting Down -Phil says he can catch a bullet, but nobody believes him when he says it. Not even his best friend, Mattie, who once glimpsed the bats living inside Phil's head and knows he's not normal. Mattie should know better than to go along with Phil's crazy ideas, but right now he's get other things on his mind...things that could lead to a fatal mistake.Local Heroes - Hit man to the supernatural, Keith Murphy, comes up against a demon who draws power from the wrestling ring and the fans who come to watch the show. He's too tough to gun down and impervious to magic, which means Keith's only got one option if he wants to make the hit. He's got to step up, play by the rules of the ring, and accept the possibility he might just be the hero that the Gold Coast needs. With ten more stories to enchant and thrill you, These Strange and Magic Things spins magic and horror together into an unforgettable collection of tales featuring rogue jinn, magic bees, flying crocodiles, laundromat ghosts, cyberpunk gangs, and lost loves.
