Books with title The Witch

Just over the hill stood a shack where the most beautiful woman you ever laid eyes on lived. Her hair was blonde and wavy with eyes as blue as the sky. Her figure would make any man lose his breath. The only thing wrong with this picture was, she's a Witch. Her name is Sarah and an evil Witch at that. Her mother had her out of wedlock. Sarah's mother kept her pregnancy secret from her parent's until one day when her father opened her bedroom door to scold her about something. Her father heard a baby's cry and said, "Did I just hear a baby's cry?"No! No! Father," cried Sarah's Mother.Her father pushed her aside from her closet door. Opened the door and shouted to the top of his lungs. "I want this baby out of my house by morning and that's an order," said her father in an angry voice. Sarah's Mother was only sixteen years old when she had Sarah. Having a baby out of wedlock and especially at sixteen was a disgrace to the family.The next morning Sarah's Mother carried her newborn baby Sarah into town looking for a good home for her daughter. Sarah's Mother came across this shack where a sweet old lady lives. She asked the old woman to take her baby and love her as her own. The old lady accepted and asked her. "Why are you giving up your baby? I'm just an old woman.""My father will kill me and my baby if I don't get rid of this problem. That's his exact words," replied Sarah with a river of tears flowing down her cheeks.Sarah's mother had no idea who the old lady was and if she did she would not have left her in her care.

Or is it just the ancient chaos of this place waiting to suck us in and never let us back out? As I stand here within the darkness staring at the dancing flames, I know our time is up. We have to make our run for it. Now. This was a rescue mission, except now we might need the saving. With Tegan still unconscious, and Tennessee lost to his fear for her, no one knows what to do.

A seafaring novel that would delight nautical readers!(The Columbia Review of Books and Film)“The Sea Witch” provides a wonderful...opportunity to sail back in time to an era when...crossing the sea was a true adventure, and when men risked their lives for glory, wealth, and love.Originally written by Alexander Laing..., the novel has been revised and edited by his son, author David Bennett Laing, presenting a wonderfully improved text that [is] more palatable to the modern reader, yet diminishes nothing from the charm of the original.“The Sea Witch” offers historic fiction at its best. Rooted in true facts surrounding one of the fastest sailing ships in history..., the novel is populated by fictional characters, who are truly genuine to their time and place. The ship itself, a swift and beautiful American clipper [plying] the China tea trade and the California gold rush, is the pivot around which the lives of three brothers revolve as shipmaster (and his wife), first mate, and carpenter. Adventure, romance, and...greed, send them literally across the oceans. While the impetus might have been trade and profit, “The Sea Witch” whips up magic far beyond ports of call and cargo manifests. Bitter business rivalries and fiery romantic conflicts mix with the awesome forces of the sea (and human folly) to provide plenty of action and suspense, while the authenticity of foreign locales and the customs of [the] mid-nineteen century make for a lifelike reading experience that rivals time travel.“The Sea Witch,” at its essence, is a classic seafaring tale, enriched to a great extent by carefully researched details of the era’s shipbuilding, finance, international trade, and the men and women of the time, driven by bold courage that’s hard to imagine in today’s world. This novel would surely delight readers who enjoy great nautical books, from the true accounts of Captain Joshua Slocum and Bernard Moitessier to the fictional adventures of Herman Melville’s “Moby Dick” and Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey/Maturin series. Highly recommended!(The Columbia Review of Books and Film)

In this important new novel, Miss Johnston goes back to the field of some of her earlier successes -- the spacious Elizabethan times. The story opens in the death chamber of the great Queen, and with that uncanny power of historic resurrection of which Miss Johnston is master, the reader is made to feel the great issues that are hanging in the balance, -- issues of thought and faith within England itself, issues of imperialistic destiny in the great colonies overseas. The two chief characters are Joan Heron, a beautiful girl of strong, original nature, and Dr. Aderhold, a thinker in advance of his time. As the plot develops, not only is Aderhold suspected of atheism and unholy practices in the black art, but Joan is accused of witchcraft. They are arrested, and sentenced to death, but escape, and take ship for Virginia. As the voyage progresses, her sex and identity are suspected, and she and Aderhold are cast adrift in an open boat. This catastrophe, however, is not final, and in the Bahamas and later in England, the story comes to its impressive ending. As a historic picture, the story is exceptionally strong, and perhaps the impression that will live longest is that of the marvelous Elizabethan world of adventure, controversy, passion, and vital personality.

"A Sweet Valley Twins Evil Parody"Did you read, and have a love-hate relationship with, Sweet Valley books in the mid-80s to late 90s? Do you also have an affinity for fantasy and horror? Then this parody is for you. All the kids at Saccharin Valley Middle School say the Morrison mansion is haunted. So when Fallon Morrison moves into the crumbling Victorian house, the rumors spread fast. Jessica Wastefeld and her friends are convinced that the new girl is a witch.But Jessica’s identical twin sister, Elizabeth, is sure that Fallon is just an ordinary girl. She’s determined to stick up for her new friend. Fallon has her own agenda, especially when Jessica and her friends start being mean to her. Is Fallon really a witch? Well, duh.The Witch is a "horror-parody" of books I used to read obsessively as a child and later realized are awful. The Witch combines elements of satire and horror, and is kind of meta. If it sounds familiar, it's inspired by the third book in the actual series, but I took its premise and twisted it beyond recognition, because the original plot really annoyed me. Added original characters (whom you’ll have met in Book One).More books in my fake series to come.The original series were aimed at preteen girls, and this book is based on the particular series where the twins are young enough to encounter supernatural events (many of their “Super Chillers” were ghost stories). So while there’s no blatant sexuality or violence, and it follows the rules of the original series, it might be better appreciated by someone 13 or older (especially women in their 30s). There’s definitely some dark humor, and “magical” violence.
