Tangled Tales of Myth and Magic

An enchanting anthology of short tales from the bestselling author of House of Werth and Modern Magick, spanning new worlds, new flights of fancy, and a new cast of quirky, memorable characters to fall in love with.

From the gaslit streets of late 19th century Brighton, to the wind-tossed Yorkshire coast; from the plague-ridden English midlands to the dark streets of modern cities; from the strangely charming town of Hexborough to the dream-laced Silverglen; these ten stories will take you on a whirlwind tour from familiar worlds reinvented to new places wholly imagined.

A Rationally-dressed Brighton coven contends with a freak storm’s effects upon their city’s beloved pier.

A daring thief attempts an impossible heist upon a legendary wizard’s tower, with surprising outcomes.

A long-suffering and highly unusual butler solves the mystery of his employer’s spectacular demise.

An airy cloud-garden wreathed in mists grows rarefied teas – and hatches a priceless drake’s egg.

The weary queen of a faerie kingdom receives succour from a down-to-earth dame and her clever son.

All these and more – each story a fresh, shining nugget of vivid fantasy, laced with Charlotte E. English’s signature wit, warmth, and charm.
