Tales of Magic City by Joe Cron digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Praise for Joe Cron:

"Joe Cron might know more about art in general than just about any one person I know."
--Dean Wesley Smith, Pulphouse Fiction Magazine, issue 13

"The author skillfully manages the difficult task of writing an animal fantasy that is neither anthropocentric nor whimsical. The story's conclusion is emotionally satisfying without denying the reality of the characters' plights."
--Victoria Silverwolf, Tangent Online

Praise for Joe's story, "Case Cracked":

"I think it's one of the best stories I've read.
It's certainly one of the most memorable."
--Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Fiction River: Fantastic Detectives

"Congratulations, Mr. Cron. You've done what few have been able to do, get an audible reaction to a joke."
--Keith West, Amazing Stories

Come along with our intrepid egg detective, Frank Dumpty,as he works the case on "Caribou Road," then on to the premiere of Joe's newest Frank Dumpty tale, The Murders in the Room Org!

In this volume:
"Case Cracked"
"Caribou Road"
"The Murders in the Room Org"

...and a bonus story, "Morning Sun," a Western to round out your reading with a change of pace. Have fun!
