Beware The Witch S Shadow 1

Is the hair on the back of your neck standing up? Do you feel like someone just walked over your grave? That's not paranoia, it's the tales of horror you've stumbled upon in Beware the Witch's Shadow! There's a witch that lives deep in the woods, feeding upon those foolish enough to disturb her machinations. These are her tales told as the life drains from her victims. In this issue Jason Pell and Richard Bonk deliver a story to chill your bones in "Snow Day," novelist SA Check and Zeu Gouveia deliver "Snips and Snails," a tale of growing up with monsters, and the witch reaches into the vault with a special "Wicked West" tale by James Kuhoric and Neil Vokes. Enjoy classic horror the way it was meant to be in Beware the Witch's Shadow!

Either I defeat the monster, or I become the monster. As if being locked up in the crazy house wasn't bad enough, I wake up to discover that my nightmares are coming true. As in, the person I trust most in the world just morphed into a bloodthirsty monster. My only chance for escape comes in the form of two women calling out from within a shimmering tunnel that just popped open from out of nowhere. So, it's either stick around and be murdered or jump through some kind of portal. And there I was thinking my new meds were working. I take Door Number Two and find myself ushered into the world of the Shadow Order, an ancient society of witches whose mission is protecting the covens. (Who me, a witch? Well, that sure explains a few things.) I'm given a choice: I can either go it alone and take my chances, or join their magical training program. Seeing as one option involves dying, I soon find myself alongside other young witches learning how to hone their magic. The problem being I didn't even know I had magic, never mind how to use it. There's also the small issue of it being unique enough to act as some sort of monster-luring beacon. While we know next to nothing about the supernatural psycho on the loose, we do know it changes form by hopping in and out of other peoples' bodies. And, right now, the body it wants most is mine. Why don't I find that flattering?

Oakridge Wood, dark, deep and mysterious. For aeon after aeon it had concealed its magic from curious, prying eyes......until now. Threatened with destruction, the wood becomes the catalyst that leads the witches of Oakridge and their vampire consorts in a race against time to discover the source of the strange anomalies affecting the earth's energy field. At stake is nothing less than the future of the planet itself. Under attack from an enemy known only as the Shadow, the planet is being drawn into a downward spiral, a spiral that will lead to chaos, destruction and everlasting darkness. Only the witches and vampires have the power to find and defeat the Shadow. Only they, of all earth's inhabitants, have the ability to travel in time and space, to go where others cannot travel, and seek out their nemesis. For young Sophia, newly graduated from music college, it is a journey that will change her life as she is drawn ever deeper into the search for the sinister Shadow. This is the first book in the Oakridge series, the beginning of the journey that will take the witches and vampires to other dimensions, parallel universes, to other eras, past and future, to hidden cities, even to the very heart of the earth itself. All this because one man has a plan and his plan involves the destruction of Oakridge Wood.
