Welcome to a world of cruelty, hexes and treachery, where malicious magic rules and you are but a single necromancer’s spell away from eternal terror.

​

From malevolent medieval magicians  to Wild West witches, this spellbinding volume by a master of the macabre is packed with frightening fables guaranteed to send a supernatural chill down your spine.

​

Amongst the haunting historical horror stories, you’ll meet:

​

• A half-crazed girl locked up in a high security mental hospital by those accusing her of causing a devastating earthquake.

• An impoverished French noblewoman who’ll stop at nothing to marry  her daughter to a wealthy prince - even if it means dabbling with a dangerous love potion.

• The hated public executioner Pandora whose fabled box has already killed 55 men - without leaving  a trace of violence on their bodies.

• Wily witch Merta who uses all her wits and trickery to turn the tables on the corrupt Mayor who wants her burnt alive at the stake.

• A faery mage without conscience or pity with the perfect plan to make Mankind turn on itself  - and all it takes is one innocent baby.

• A drought-stricken frontier town that seeks magical help from the local Indian tribe to make it rain, but learns it comes at a terrible cost. 

• The doubt-ridden King, plagued by nightmares of his death, who consults an enchantress to learn the most of hidden of secrets: just when the Grim Reaper will claim him.

• A Mid Western widow who is convinced her homesteading husband is still alive, held hostage by a sorceress.
