About

“Dirty Magick” is the new urban fantasy anthology series from Lucky Mojo Press. Focusing on the intersection of two genres (fantasy and detective/crime), these collections will focus on a recent alternative history where magic survives and flourishes in the concrete heartbeat of the big cities. But, more so, it will concentrate on the ne’er-do-wells who use magic to commit crime and the hard boiled wizards who would stop them. And, as always, the supernaturals will observe, acting only when the time is right. Each volume will be devoted to a different city. The first will be set in Los Angeles, the genesis of the noir movement. With its harsh sunlight and sharp shadows, the city of so many millions provides the perfect cover for those who would use the arts for their own greed.
