Synopsis
Enter a world where magic is contraband, brewed up in backwoods hill cabins and smuggled into backalley speakeasies.

Meet a girl with a peculiar talent and an ageless peddler whose wagon rolls forever across the cornfields. In this collection of fantastical short stories, anything is possible with the help of a little everyday magic.
