Travellers in Magic

Fifteen stories of ordinary lives that take fantastic turns Robert never quite feels at home with Cassies family, a gang of eccentrics including a reptile smuggler, a worshipper of Osiris, and an old woman who believes her photographs can see into the future. When he breaks up with Cassie, she is so upset that she gives him the most terrible thing she can offer: an envelope of her grandmothers photos, which show in detail the path that Roberts life will take. At first, this vision of the future gives him strengthbut soon it becomes a prison on glossy paper. A Nebula and Hugo Award finalist, Cassandras Photographs demonstrates all the power of Lisa Goldsteins imagination. Whether she is writing about shape-shifting aliens or kind-hearted ghosts, Goldsteins fantasies remain grounded in reality, supported by the kind of crystalline prose that takes a lifetime to master. This collection also includes the Nebula Award finalist Alfred.
