    Anthology is grounded in artifacts that illuminate characters and alter history

    If you’re looking for transformative literature, an anthology that mixes history and alchemy may just fit the bill. In the latest volume of the long-running Tesseracts series of speculative fiction anthologies, editors Lorina Stephens and Susan MacGregor have curated 23 stories set around the world and in many eras. The tales in Alchemy and Artifacts explore the use of artifacts that are some strange fusion of secret knowledge and artifice.
