    About this ebook

    Would you spend Christmas with the Grim Reaper, hunt a vampire through the neon haze of a nightclub, or take tea with a denizen of Hell?

    In Spellbound, Kay M. Weston's debut collection of ten standalone short stories and flash fiction, magic pulses through every page, exploring cozy fantasy, magical realism, and urban fantasy.

    Discover what happens when a speed dating agency opens its doors to the supernatural, or when an old witch's revenge delivers unexpected results. Each story invites you to lose yourself in magical twists and turns, from whimsical encounters to darkly magical moments that linger long after the final page.

    Interspersed with emotional flash fiction, Spellbound introduces a vibrant cast of characters whose lives are forever changed—for better or worse—by the caress of magic.

      About the Author

      Foreword

      Thank you for picking up Spellbound: A Fantasy Short Story Collection and for taking a chance on me and my stories.

      I’m thrilled to have you join me as I follow my inspiration down the rabbit hole and through this collection of short fantasy stories and flash fiction. Within these pages, you’ll discover ten tales, each containing an element of magic in one form or another.

      Many of these stories were born from various writing prompts. Others were scenes that sprung to life in my head, that I just had to get down on paper. They can be read in any order.

      You’ll encounter a diverse cast of characters; mysterious witches, playful werewolves, fiery demons, and deadly vampires. Each story invites you to lose yourself in magical twists and turns, from whimsical encounters to darkly magical moments that linger long after the final page.

      But beyond the magic, it’s the characters that bring these stories to life. It was their hopes, dreams, and flaws that had me feverishly writing one story after the other.

      I hope you enjoy getting to know them!
