The Book of Witching

2024

by C. J. Cooke

A mother must fight for her daughter’s life in this fierce and haunting tale of witchcraft and revenge.

Clem receives a call every mother dreads. Her nineteen-year-old daughter, Erin, is unconscious in the hospital after a hiking trip on the remote Orkney Islands ends in horror, leaving her boyfriend dead and her best friend missing. When Erin awakens, she doesn't recognize her mother, instead claiming to be someone named Nyx.

Determined to uncover the truth, Clem travels to the site of the accident. She explores a dark secret from the Orkneys' past: a woman wrongly accused of witchcraft and murder four centuries ago. Clem questions whether Erin’s odd behavior is a sign of mental distress or the result of an ancient curse.

One Grave at a Time

2011

by Jeaniene Frost

How do you send a killer to the grave when he’s already dead? Having narrowly averted an (under)World War, Cat Crawfield wants nothing more than a little downtime with her vampire husband, Bones. Unfortunately, her gift from New Orleans’s voodoo queen just keeps on giving—leading to a personal favor that sends them into battle once again, this time against a villainous spirit.

Centuries ago, Heinrich Kramer was a witch hunter. Now, every All Hallows Eve, he takes physical form to torture innocent women before burning them alive. This year, however, a determined Cat and Bones must risk all to send him back to the other side of eternity—forever. But one wrong step and they’ll be digging their own graves.

The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane

2009

by Katherine Howe

The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane is a spellbinding, beautifully written novel that moves between contemporary times and one of the most fascinating and disturbing periods in American history—the Salem witch trials.

Harvard graduate student Connie Goodwin needs to spend her summer doing research for her doctoral dissertation. But when her mother asks her to handle the sale of Connie's grandmother's abandoned home near Salem, she can't refuse. As she is drawn deeper into the mysteries of the family house, Connie discovers an ancient key within a seventeenth-century Bible. The key contains a yellowing fragment of parchment with a name written upon it: Deliverance Dane.

This discovery launches Connie on a quest—to find out who this woman was and to unearth a rare artifact of singular power: a physick book, its pages a secret repository for lost knowledge.

As the pieces of Deliverance's harrowing story begin to fall into place, Connie is haunted by visions of the long-ago witch trials, and she begins to fear that she is more tied to Salem's dark past than she could have ever imagined.

Written with astonishing conviction and grace, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane travels seamlessly between the witch trials of the 1690s and a modern woman's story of mystery, intrigue, and revelation.
