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. Death is never offstage. And backstage… anything can happen. A perfect companion to Rachel Lawson’s The Magicians Podcast, this collection brings together songs, stories, and characters in a theatrical celebration of magic, mischief, and the mysteries between life and death.
