A Spice Most Demanding: Uncollected Anthology: Warlocks

Most guests at The Unicorn's Egg in downtown Philadelphia come seeking shots of magic—just one more belt to satisfy their addictions to spells and sorcery. Newcomer Oliver Box breaks the mold, though, coming to the pub to help others—bringing old-timers to warlock bartender Homan Teatree to restore ruined memories in minds burned by dementia. But when those memories connect to each other and an ancient mystery in unlikely ways, Teatree suspects a game's afoot, and he's a loser in the making. Layers of lies peel away to reveal secrets undreamt of, as Oliver's shocking true agenda points to the miraculous restoration of a flavor of the world long thought lost...and a piece of his heart lost and found along with it.

Don't miss this surprising story by award-winning writer Robert Jeschonek, a master of unique and unexpected fantasy that really packs a punch.
