The Quick-Change Artist
In these stories of magic and memory, clustered around a resort hotel in a small Virginia community, Cary Holladay takes the reader on an excursion through the changes wrought by time on the community and its visitors. From the quiet of a rural forest to the rhythms of rock and roll,The Quick-Change Artistis at once whimsical and hard-edged, dizzying in its matter-of-fact delivery of the fantastic.Romance, a sense of place and belonging, and the supernatural-especially in the lives of children coming of age-offer windows into worlds beyond the ordinary throughoutThe Quick-Change Artist. In the title story, a young chambermaid is in love with a foreign magician who performs at the hotel where she works. In \"Heaven,\" set during the 1918 flu epidemic, a struggling mother and son rely on the support of their fortune-telling plow horse. The narrator of \"Jane's Hat\" recalls a childhood enlivened by an unusual school principal and a friend who starts finding beauty everywhere.Horses and the people who love them, wanderers and those who feed them, creatures that disappear and those who search for them: these are stories with a constant heart.

Taken from his home and dropped into the compound of \"The Hill\" in central Virginia, he can't escape the feeling that evil hangs over him night and day, watching his every move. Something is preying upon the teenagers of the Hill. An entire city lies paralyzed under the iron fist of a shadowy government agency and its cruel police force. Spies lurk among the crowds of frightened teens, ready to pounce at the first sign of dissidence. Fear keeps a choking hold on every soul--almost.
