Step behind the red velvet curtains and into a world where magic, music, and mortality collide. In Death, Dreams & Other Backstage Disasters, the Magicians take the stage for a night of songs, illusions, and cosmic chaos. Fred Alexander - illusionist, sorcerer, and the secret King of Death - just wants to get through the performance without another catastrophe. But between dream-wizards, necromancers, reincarnated lovers, and a stage manager who's also a grim reaper, nothing ever goes according to plan.
From dreamscapes to dressing rooms, from the underworld to the wings, each story blends dark fantasy, humour, and heartfelt emotion. Whether it's a drunken Grinch ruining Christmas, a time-travelling magician singing country ballads, or a mythic duet between Death and his lost love, every tale reveals another layer of the Magicians' strange and supernatural world. Dreams are never what they seem.
