Un-Pragmagic: A Tyler Moore Retrospective
ShortStory 1,507 words Recommended by 2 award/anthology sources
"Tyler Moore’s spells strive to exist in and of themselves. They make no excuse or justification for their existence: no promise to speak to the dead, predict next year’s grain or gold prices, or read the mind of lawyers during a hostile takeover. They are simply beautiful, challenging, and awe-inducing."
