Radio Magician and Other Stories, The (Book)

The Radio Magician and Other Stories is Van Pelt's third short story collection. It is introduced by Carrie Vaughn.

Back of the Book
Mixing straightforward science fiction ideas, such as the search for habitable planets, the terraforming of Venus, and a time-traveling substitute teacher, along with fantasy concepts, such as saving the Earth from nuclear destruction through supernatural sacrifice, a teen werewolf agonizing over attending prom on the night of the full moon, or a young boy who denies his polio by listening to a radio magician, to tales of horror where a pair of fathers have both lost sons, or an inn so vast that a man may never find his wife, The Radio Magician and Other Stories showcases James Van Pelt's wide-ranging talent as a tale spinner of the fantastic.
