Description
WITNESS THE BIRTH OF A NEW HORROR ICON
On the eve of her resignation, Sheriff Sterling Marsh prepares for a bleak winter in Drybell, Connecticut, after a string of bad decisions leaves her life in shambles. Two weeks before Christmas and expecting a long night of paperwork and quiet celebration with the friends she’s grown to know and love, she’s surprised when an unnerving stranger appears in the form of a witch.
A silent, menacing figure, the witch appears to be ripped straight out of a fairy tale, complete with a tall, pointed hat, and black clothing. But when strange things begin happening all over town, Sterling begins to suspect that there may be more to the witch than meets the eye.
As she works to maintain order as the world crumbles around her, the witch’s mysterious presence throws her world into a frenzy, threatening to send the sleepy town spiraling face-first into the darkest night it’s ever seen.
Advance Praise
"With supernatural twists to enhance the psychological horror and stunning artwork throughout, Witch 13 is a great choice for public-library collections."
—Booklist
“Witch 13 is a bloody buzzsaw of a fairy tale, ripe with magic and mayhem and not shy to bring the pain. Delaney sets up a small-town microcosm only to slowly obliterate it over the course of the novel with a gleeful hammer in the form of a monstrous witch, a classic trope reimagined for the modern world and overlaid with a thick black coat of cosmic horror. A violent gut-punch of a novel not to be missed.”
— Philip Fracassi, author of
