Lullaby for Witches

Gothic. Witchy. Near Perfect Blend Of Historical And Modern. This is one of those witch tales that blends the modern and the historical particularly well - in this case, via a ghost witch. We see her travails in her own mortal time in the middle of the 19th century... and we also get a remarkable view of the life of a museum worker in 21st century New England as well. How these two blend - and why - is what makes this book so remarkable. Fans of Nick Winters' Hollywood Scent will particularly love this, as both books share a particularly creepy finale mechanism (and indeed have similar general arcs blending historical and current). Overall a great creepy witch tale, perfect for cold gray days by a campfire. Very much recommended.
