In Kalishandra, the city of lost travelers, darkness has formed. In the mist that rises from cracks between the cobblestones, it has life. The strange mist drifts along empty streets, welling into deep, choking pools in forgotten courtyards. It breaks in ephemeral waves upon the stark stone walls of towers, which protrude above its curling tendrils like strangely envisioned nightmares. These bleak, inhospitable eyries are the lairs of dark and terrible wizards, beneath whose hard and stony glare Kalishandra shifts.
"Mist and Mirrors" (published by iUniverse) is a collection of fantasy stories all centering in the city Kalishandra. Author John T Stolarczyk provides readers with a feeling of apprehensive enchantment; the eerie streets Kalishandra seem swept with oddities.
"My first encounter with Fantasy Fiction was reading 'Lord of the Rings' as a 15-year-old," Stolarczyk says. "I hope that the reader will find that the journey through the book will be an enjoyable one, provided by the combination of fun and sense of wonder."
