pickClever, terrifying, richly-drawn horror! 5 stars. Both mother & menace, the witch of the title creates Stephen-King style havoc, but represents so much more. Lush language and a sensitive protagonist you can‘t help but like. The perfectly described houses in the book become characters. Trigger warning: one frightening scene in which a preschool class of kids may, or may not, be in peril. A bloody gorgeous tale of growth & transformation.
Very creepy but quite good. I‘m rooting for Abbey, the survivor protagonist! Stayed up late the last night of our vacation to read. Home now but equal parts excited & afraid to see what happens... #horror
“Hateful, intimate interaction was in no way preferable to general, disconnected apathy.” -Jae Mazer. One feels for the lonely 12 year old protagonist even before she encounters the witch... and horror pairs well with a King Cake latte. #lonelytween #interestingcharacters #horror
