I just got done reading Enchantment, Treasure Box, and Homebody. I have really enjoyed theses modern-day fantasies. Are there any more that Card has written?

Cards short story collection The Changed Man is full of modern day fantasy stories. It is out of print now, but Maps in a Mirror, which contains its stories, is being reprinted soon, so you might want to look out for it.
Lost Boys is a modern day fantasy, with a fairly light fantastic emphasis. It is also a very good book.
Pastwatch is science fiction and Alvin Maker is a fantasy, both of which are probably better called alternative history, but since they both take place fairly close to the modern era, you might like them. Plus they are really good. Posts: 285 | Registered: Jun 1999

For present-day fantasy, try Card's story in the collection STARS (advertised on the home page.) It will give you a variation on the theme of "what you pretend might come true!" Posts: 74 | Registered: Oct 2003

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have read everything suggested except for Lost Boys (I did read the short story in Maps in a Mirror) and the short story in STARS. I was just hoping that somehow I had missed one along the way.
I guess I'll just have to wait for new books just like everybody else Posts: 16551 | Registered: Feb 2003

However, I would classify Lost Boys as a horror story written from a very personal point of view rather than a fantasy. It's an intense read.

I'd also check out the Alvin Maker Series. ![[Hat]](graemlins/hat.gif)
