7/6/2023 0 Comments The near witch seriesHence, I much prefer reading folk lore and horror as both give us that sense of the natural world being just a tad eerie and numinous often without any clear explanation. Structure and academic rules really don’t appeal to me very often. When it comes to magic, I like to it be wild and mysterious with a price for its users. The next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the stranger falls under suspicion.Īs the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi’s need to know about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that seems to speak through the walls a night, and about the history of this nameless boy. But when an actual stranger, a boy who seems to fade like smoke, appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true. These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life. There are no strangers in the town of Near. The wind is lonely and always looking for company. If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The Near Witch is only an old story told to frighten children. I would like to thank Lydia at Titan for providing me with an advance copy of this novel in exchange for a fair and honest review
