In eigenen Worten:

Once upon a time in a little town called Windale, Massachusetts, three witches were hanged by the neck until dead. They were Elizabeth Wither, Rebecca Cole and Sarah Hutchins. And these were not poor, innocent women executed because they look cross-eyed at some leering magistrate. These women were bad, really bad. Especially the Widow Wither. (Try saying that five times in a row fast!). And as any good witches should, they didn't die when they were hanged. No sirree..good thing, too, as there wouldn't have been a book by this wonderful writer J. G. Passarella (two writers? according to the copyright). "Wither" is a spell-binding foray into a nightmare world of… Mehr dazu
