PRAISE FOR
​MAGIC FOR MARTIANS: 49 SHORT FICTIONS
"...this collection is delightfully strange, fresh, and, somehow, each piece of fanciful short fiction leaves the reader with a bit of unavoidable, poignant truth. DeAnnuntis has mastered the art of fabricating ridiculousness with relevance. These stories satisfy the craving for literature that feels new and current and will surely retain its contemporary feel in future years."
​—Mid-American Review
