MISSPELLED
Strange magic... in 17 Fascinating tales of spells gone awry. When it comes to magic, skipping the directions, changing the ingredients, or garbling the words of a spell can lead to unusual consequences-sometimes dire, sometimes comical. Included in these stories are just a few of the possible results: a cybermancer has her spell disk corrupted by some unexpected input; two students brewing up spells outside the curriculum forgo a critical ingredient; a young woman orders a fairy-tale life, but forgets to read the fine print. Now they're really spellbound... Smith, John Zakour, Jim C. Hines, and others.

TRUTHSEEKERS: Welcome to Blackriver
Moving to a small town from the big city is a challenge that can be hard enough for anyone. It's even harder for a teenage girl, leaving behind her friends, her school, her mall, her social life. After her parents are brutally murdered and fifteen-year-old Ashley Bennett is sent to the small town of Blackriver, Ontario to live with her only relative, her cousin Mark - a teacher at her new school! - she thinks her life can't possibly get any worse. But Ashley has no idea that the real challenges have only just begun. Not only is she faced with the normal teen experiences of making new friends, going to a new school, and adjusting to her new life, she's about to discover a whole hidden world that is both dark and strange. She's about to discover that her parents' deaths were anything but random, and that she herself might be in danger. Ancient conspiracies . secret societies . ghosts . vampires . cattle mutilations and cults . witches . mysterious disappearances . this eerily normal-seeming little town has it all, and Ashley ends up smack in the middle of it whether she wants to be or not. Now, to protect herself and her friends, Ashley must seek the truth . the truth behind the TRUTHSEEKERS.
