This world is full of holes, like a sieve. He gives birth to many magicians: it is necessary. There are no “gotchas” or miraculous stories of transitions here; it borders only on places inhabited by monsters from people’s nightmares. The collection of short stories belongs to the same cycle as the novel Jack's Stories. About what it means to be a wizard in this world. About listening to warnings and not trusting the dead of the city. About why you can’t stand at noon at the main building of the Institute of Magical Arts and why fiery butterflies fly in its park at night. And a little more about Jack and Enz.
