Description
VENTURA, Calif. – Fairytales continue to enchant both the young and old. This enduring tradition lingers in the present day through countless movies and literary works. In his new novel, Witchcraft, author Jayme Alan Toomey spins a darkly riveting story out of the the timeless appeal of fairytales. This modern retelling follows a family, the Dooms, on vacation. Jess wants to try something different for once and so they opt for a rural community rife with local legends, cults and an otherworldly atmosphere. Jess’ boyfriend, Jamie, comes along with them and they eagerly enjoy the respite from their lives in the urban jungle. Unbeknownst to them all, there is more to the peace and quiet than meets the eye. Dark forces are at work beneath the town’s idyll and what started as a fun getaway quickly became a deadly game involving the sacrifice of innocent blood, witchcraft and the resurgence of an evil from an all too familiar fairytale. Suffused with magic and menace, Witchcraft is a richly atmospheric novel that will enthrall fans of fairytales and fairytale retellings and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadowy realms of lore.
