Magic Man takes an urban myth, however personal to the author, pins it down and turns it into a legend. Fuchs is at his best here, taking for the most part a campfire story and turning it into a philosophical metaphor....there is a lot of insight and narrative infused into the idea of a "magic man" that could make all one's dreams come true, for a price, no matter what price it is. Sometimes that price can make you learn something valuable about life, then it sticks you with a circumstance you never knew was coming around the corner. Fuchs, a great writer in his own right, takes poetry and storytelling prose to another level!

Very good book of horror short stories. The author has a great imagination. The stories are appropriately creepy. A few ate about the Magic Man, who will grant you your desires. Other stories were different and very well written. I enjoyed this book. Good Read!
