In a city (very much inspired by Portland and its surrounding boroughs) we find a young lady riding alone on public transit. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she catches a glimpse of the strangest sight. An ogre! An actual ogre wearing a tattered overcoat, a flat cap, and reading a newspaper! What follows is a growing friendship between the girl and the world-weary magical creature. Their interactions will help reveal a world of wonders that exists parallel to our own, but invisible to most. The stories in this anthology, crafted by a diverse group of authors and visionaries, will unfold in this setting - each one a unique take on the idea of magic all around us. The stories will feature magic, mystery, chills, thrills, and true connection, all with a focus on imagination, resilience, and embracing the unknown.
The Magic We Miss Anthology features 19 authors from all walks of life and publishing backgrounds. Their artistry and creative excitement is why this collection will be one to treasure.
