The Near Witch
The Near Witch

Fairy tale entwines with chilling, windy mystery.

"The Near Witch" might just be the perfect read if you're into stories that blend the familiar warmth of a fairy tale with the creeping chill of a good ghost story. Victoria Schwab has an artful way of weaving together suspense and mythology, making it a compelling pick for anyone who craves a narrative that feels like an old song remembered—a comforting yet haunting tune. Plus, if the notion of a love story with a spectral twist intrigues you, this debut might just become a memorable addition to your collection.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The Near Witch is only an old story told to frighten children. If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely, and always looking for company. And there are no strangers in the town of Near. These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life. But when an actual stranger—a boy who seems to fade like smoke—appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true. The next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion. Still, he insists on helping Lexi search for them. Something tells her she can trust him. As the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi's need to know—about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that seems to speak through the walls at night, and about the history of this nameless boy. Part fairy tale, part love story, Victoria Schwab's debut novel is entirely original yet achingly familiar: a song you heard long ago, a whisper carried by the wind, and a dream you won't soon forget.
