This omnivorous selection of stories chosen by series editor John Joseph Adams and World Fantasy Award finalist Carmen Maria Machado is a display of the most boundary-pushing, genre-blurring, stylistically singular science fiction and fantasy stories published in the last year.

Introducing these stories (and more) from Adam-Troy Castro, whose short fiction has been nominated for two Hugos, three Stokers,...

Путь волшебника

fb2

Всемогущество… Мы лишь мечтаем о нем, но есть и те, кто обладает им. Это ведьмы, кудесники, некроманты, чернокнижники, заклинатели. Их глаза видят сквозь туман земного бытия, их ладони лежат на рычагах управления вселенной. Маг разглядит будущее в хрустальном шаре, приручит фантастического зверя и превратит свинец в золото… или вас — в лягушку, если вздумаете его рассердить. Вступите же в мир, где нет ничего невозможного, где воображаемое с легкостью становится реальным. Пройдите дорогами чародеев — и вы поймете, что значит быть по-настоящему всемогущим! Никогда еще магия не была такой волнующей и увлекательной. Прославленный составитель антологий Джон Джозеф Адамс собрал для вас...
