A Different Kind Of Magic: 14 Stories of Horror and the Supernatural (Nightmare Fuel) Kindle Edition
Magic. Often seen as wondrous and benevolent. But T.W. Grim, a celebrated author of eerie NoSleep tales, offers a different kind of sorcery: one that pulls at the very threads of reality, weaving tales of terror and wonder.
A man slips out of reality and becomes trapped in a ghastly parallel dimension. A radical scientist unleashes an experimental drug on the world to devastating consequences. An intergalactic intelligence makes a cold, logical decision to destroy humanity. An elderly man shares stories of horror around the campfire.
These stories and others blend the supernatural with spine-chilling horror. Are you ready to embrace the dark side of magic?
“Horror stories worthy of incredible praise.”—Rafael Marmol, author of If Hell is What You Want

- Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI rarely write reviews for books. But this book had such intriguing stories that i felt i had to write a review. All of the stories are interesting and unique. But the 4 stories from Henry's farm, and the very last story in the book were of such high quality that i was surpised to see them in a horror book. The very last coming-of-age story was so well-written and poignant that i am surprised it has not won an award or be made into a movie. This book is a MUST-READ.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThere are some really good stories in here! The best ones are with Uncle henry!
In my opinion, there should be a whole book of Uncle henry's tales!!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseWell written, interesting and a wonderful read! I got lost in it, which is the highest compliment to give it.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2021Once again, T.W. Grim delivers another collection of blue-collar horror stories worthy of incredible praise. Following T.W. Grim’s career, readers have watched this talented writer evolve his craft and perfect his voice into something that only speaks to the heart but cuts straight through to the darkness of man’s soul.
With “A Different Kind of Magic,” T.W. Grim further sharpens that soul-cutting blade and then stabs the reader in the heart with it.
Each eerie tale within this collection pulls the reader deep into a world where raw personal demons are only the start of the troubles. Deeply flawed and emotionally complex characters are thrust into the supernatural, the suspenseful, or the sheer terror of the nightmares living in Grim’s mind.
Grim employs various horror genre tropes and injects them with his unique voice and masterful storytelling. The Uncle Henry’s Farm series of stories stand out as the most enthralling and entertaining within the book. Each story recounted by Uncle Henry is sure to leave the reader feeling creeped out and unsettled but also wanting to hear more and more of Uncle Henry’s horrifying stories.
There are also stories like “The Summer of ‘79”, “When Dusk Falls on Hadley Township,” and “Swole” that leave readers feeling unnerved and disturbed with their sheer brutality and violence.
But that’s not all!
Grim doesn’t give the reader a moment to rest between these longer stories as he provides delightfully twisted flash fiction stories to continue the onslaught. Do not discount these stories as throwaways or filler. These tiny tales pack a punch and deliver on the terror just as well as the others. And once the reader finishes one of the short tales, they are dying to continue with the longer ones.
If you are a T.W. Grim fan or someone who enjoys excellent horror, pick this up as soon as you can!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2020I love the way this book tied all the "different kinds of magic" together. There's a little bit in every tale. TW Grim's writing is so easy to read and it just flows so naturally. The stories from Uncle Henry's farm were my favorite and really did a great job of bringing you back in focus to the work as a whole. I could read an entire series of Uncle Henry tales.
All in all, another great book from TW Grim. Love it!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2020There’s a certain way of telling a story that T.W. Grim has mastered. It’s a seemingly effortless luring of reader to subject that he does with aplomb. Before you know it, you’ve been sucked into to whatever story he wants to tell you. It starts with the familiar and soon you’re staring down evil and battling demons that, more often than not, feel like they could be your own. This collection of stories is an excellent entry point if you’re unfamiliar with his work. Once familiar, you’ll become a fan and fans will find plenty to love between these pages. Highly recommended.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseEvery one of these stories sucked me in, like they were little movies. The best ones were about the narrator's uncle Henry. I'd read a whole book of the Uncle Henry stories.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2020I've heard some of TW's stories adapted on podcasts, so I was more than excited to see this book come out. His command of both horror and deep emotion creates such rich characters that actually have a feel to them instead of characters that just serve a plot. I adored this book and can't wait for the next!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun for all the frighful
Grim continues to build a name for himself, a name that you can trust to spin a compelling yarn. Stories range from fanciful flights of terror to teenage tension mixed with a dash of nostalgia.
