<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Stephen King once said that books are portable magic. Ran Walker decided to take this phrase a bit more literally in his third short story collection, bringing to life vibrant new landscapes of both the strange and the familiar.</p><p>A writer finds himself in a love triangle where one of the women is a ghost. A woman discovers that her cure for alopecia has unintended consequences. An artist paints a woman he has been dreaming about, only to discover his dreams might be closer to reality than he thought. A graduating senior learns the true value of sacrifice. A guy professes his love for his girlfriend through an overwhelming metaphor. A social media-focused couple welcomes the world into their adoption struggles. And a relationship is threatened when a childhood secret is revealed.</p><p>In these seven stories, Walker paints a world where nothing is quite as it seems.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This collection of stories from a dimension neighboring the <em>Twilight Zone</em> is delightfully weird and unsettling. Walker's fresh, absorbing tales of the unusual reflect everyday black life through his own remarkable lens."</p><p> L. Penelope, author of the <em>Earthsinger Chronicles</em> series</p><br>
