With this, his sixth book, DeAnnuntis returns to the realm of short fiction with a vengeance. Author of the novels MASTER SIGER'S DREAM and TERROR ISLAND, his new and kaleidoscopic collection, MAGIC FOR MARTIANS: 49 SHORT FICTIONS is of darkly funny stories of four pages or fewer. Always fantastic, often absurd, occasionally bizarre, the stories are organized around a variety of topics that include ghosts, fire trucks, magical trees, cats, snakes and certain obnoxious squirrels along with many others. DeAnnuntis continues to explore those lines that distinguish hard reality, fantasy, tragedy and hilarity in terse, concise and poetic narratives.
