Acerca de esta escucha
The stories in Magic and Myth reveal the connection between everyday occurrences and the otherworldly. The place where we pause to reassure ourselves that the world is full of the mundane and unmagical in every way–even as we check beneath the bed for monsters.
Explore the point where myths and humanity collide and build a home, where unexpected magic crackles in the firelight, and the seasons gather around the dinner table. Crisscrossing these chapters are creatures from dreams and legends–love and horror are intertwined, revenge is sweeter than any summer evening, and desire can be enough to reshape reality.
This collection includes:
- Blackberry Baby - based on the fairy tale The Snow Child
- The Deer Woman - based on the myths of the Deer Woman
- Fire Watch - magical realism about the seasons
- The Black Cat - based on the myths about the boogeyman
- Tornado - magical realism flash fiction about the seasons

1857. Three women—once strangers—come together in unpredictable Utah Territory. Hopeful, desperate, and willful, they’ll allow nothing on Earth or in Heaven to stand in their way. Following the call of their newfound Mormon faith, Tamar Loader and her family weather a brutal pilgrimage from England to Utah, where Tamar is united with her destined husband, Thomas Ricks. Clinging to a promise for the future, she abides an unexpected surprise: Thomas is already wedded to one woman—Tabitha, a local healer—and betrothed to still another.

Poet Ocean Vuong’s debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, a first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling. On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late 20s, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born - a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam - and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation.
