Book Description
Devil worship, black magic, and witchcraft have long captivated anthropologists as well as the general public. In this volume, Jean La Fontaine explores the intersection of expert and lay understandings of evil and the cultural forms that evil assumes. The chapters touch on public scares about devil-worship, misconceptions about human sacrifice and the use of body parts in healing practices, and mistaken accusations of children practicing witchcraft. Together, these cases demonstrate that comparison is a powerful method of cultural understanding, but warns of the dangers and mistaken conclusions that untrained ideas about other ways of life can lead to.

Book Description
An offering. An omen. An ill fate... Before the night of the winter solstice, Brygida has everything: her mothers, a full heart, and possibly a place in two worlds. But between those worlds is the darkness, and when it comes time to make the offering to the demon, the lady of Rubin falls in... and so does Brygida. The land of Rubin is caught in a wolf’s maw. As a smaller, weaker region, it relies on Lady Rubin’s gift of diplomacy to stave off ruin. But as the heavy snows appear, she disappears without a trace. And Brygida, true to her ill-made offering, becomes the lord’s prime suspect—and that of the village—along with her mothers. When she’s attacked by a demon and marked, she believes the same demon may have taken Lady Rubin. To defeat it before the mark reaches her heart and transforms her, and avoid a clash between her mothers and the lord along with his villagers, she agrees to help Lady Rubin’s son Kaspian find her. As the winter deepens and the search stretches, however, demons and spirits begin to emerge in great numbers... with great hunger... Plagued by strange creatures and malevolent foes, Brygida and Kaspian search for Lady Rubin, praying to find her alive. If they succeed, it could balm the divide between the witches and the village, as well as that between Rubin and the bloodthirsty land at its border. To rescue her might repel the wolf at the door, but then there remains the mark reaching for Brygida’s heart, and the mysterious swell of demons and spirits, staining the snows like an ever-spreading pool of blood... Find out what fate the demon has in store for Brygida and Rubin in FATE OF THE DEMON, the second book in this romantic dark fantasy series inspired by Slavic mythology and folklore, sure to please fans of Juliet Marillier’s Blackthorn & Grim series and Naomi Novik’s Uprooted. Read Fate of the Demon to continue the beautifully haunting adventure today!

Book Description
Life for Hilda was everything but rosy growing up in a small village in the 17th century Salem, Massachusetts. Her looks were atrocious, but even though she tried to overlook the torment that was caused by it the resentment and hatred of the townspeople were eating her up inside. Finally, Hilda decided it was time for the townspeople to pay for their despicable behavior. She went to her bedroom, opened her top dresser drawer, and pulled out an old dusty book that contained spells that her aunt Helga who was a witch gave to her when she was a little girl. Hilda did not know her aunt very well because days after her aunt presented her with the spell book she was burned at the stake for practicing witchcraft. Being that Hilda was only five years old when this happened she could not comprehend why anyone would want to hurt her aunt. She thought the world was perfect and that no one died until the day her aunt did, and that turned her whole world upside down. Hilda gathered her thoughts knowing that she is now an adult and that happened many years ago, but it still haunts her to this day, and the townspeople only made the memory of her aunt’s death compound on her own hatred that was building up inside of her. Hilda wiped the tears from her eyes, opened the spell book, and said an incantation while staring into her dresser mirror, but the tears kept coming.

Ancient evil haunts a seaside mansion in the series that’s a “brew of New England Gothic, character driven suspense, and childhood magic” (Christopher Rice, New York Times bestselling author). Five hundred years ago, Isobel the Apostate was burned at the stake after waging war upon her fellow sorcerers, the Order of the Nightwing. With her dying breath she vowed she would return one day, and conquer the world. Now, Isobel has made good on her promise, and returns to modern day Ravenscliff, where the only person who can stand between her and world domination is Devon March. Young Devon’s fight takes him from Ravenscliff to Tudor England and back again, matching wits and magic against an evil that has waited five centuries for revenge. There’s no escaping the endless dangers that Devon faces, and it is only with the help of a strange collection of friends and allies that he has any hope of beating back the Demon Witch.

This is my kind of book—filled with magic and dozens of frightening surprises.”—R.L. Stine, New York Times bestselling author “Seriously scary . . .
