Gareth Is Haunted (garethj1979) | 64 comments Firstly I am hoping i have posted this in the correct place and i apologize if not.
I am looking for some recommendations for books with witches or witchcraft. I read Hex and loved it so if any of you can point me in the right direction i would be very happy.


Two Envelopes And A Phone I suggest The Wicked Deep, which I read very recently and highly recommend. I thought of Hex as I was reading it.

Besides that, you could try Puffball, Witch House, Familiar Spirit, and maybe even Burn, Witch, Burn! (but you have to like Doll Horror for that one too).

Yes you did. I actually just came here to look at it. No idea where it went.

It wasn't posted in this group, Ian. Your list is right where you left it in the other group. :)

Of course, gotta hedge my bets :-P

Randy Money | 432 comments Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman
The Witches of Eastwick by John Updike

Neither of them are horror, exactly, though each has its moments. What I like especially about the former is that it reads like Hoffman was channeling the Ray Bradbury of Something Wicked This Way Comes and twisting it toward a woman's perspective. (Didn't care for either of the movies based on these.)

Gareth Is Haunted (garethj1979) | 64 comments Thankyou for your recommendations so far. They have been really useful.

Hex was an amazing read. Hopefully you will enjoy it.

Christopher Conlon (goodreadscomchristopherconlon) | 530 comments The Walking by Bentley Little
The Walking by Bentley Little

This looks like a zombie novel but it's actually about witches.

Ian (RebelGeek) Seal (rebel-geek) | 426 comments I just read An Unkindness of Magicians with another group & loved it!


message 19: by Nora (new)

Nora Currie The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow is wonderful and so is the trilogy that starts with A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness!
