Product Description

Collected stories of the weird and wonderful ...

Desperate magic worked in the face of terrible danger. An old house with a hidden secret. An interview with a zombie. A woman allergic to the twenty-first century. A necromancer with evil written all over his face. Literally.

Spell Circles contains twenty-seven stories of the weird, wonderful and fantastical originally published between 1999 and 2011 and now collected together for the first time. Stories range from the very, very short up to novella length.

Very well crafted 21 Jan 2012
By DonnaH
Format:Kindle Edition
Short stories are difficult to do well. Because the author doesn't have the time to build up a premise or characters, it is really all down to the writing and nothing else.

Simon Kewin is a very talented writer, and nothing displays that more than the witty short fiction that appears in between the longer stories in Spell Circles. He can craft with one sentence what a lot of writers fail to achieve with a fifteen page chapter. My personal favourite was the Faerie tale which I found enjoyable but also moving.

I would also like to comment on the professional job done with the typesetting and formatting for the e-book. It leaves some on my iPad in the shade.

Really enjoyable. Thanks!

Wonderful collection 15 Jan 2012

I love short stories and this collection was excellent. Longer stories were punctuated with witty tweet length stories. Kewin's imagination soars over the fantastic landscape. Recommended reading.

one of the best 6 Jan 2012
By Zee
Format:Kindle Edition
Wonderful stories brimming with ideas, twists. Each story is a great teaser:-) Also loved the blend of a full story followed by a 'joke' one, which turns the whole book more into a verbal artwork.
Much appeciated!
