Revenge of the Witch (The Last Apprentice) Theme of The Supernatural

In pop fiction, supernatural beings can take many forms, from vampires and werewolves, to angels, zombies, and fairies (or "faeries," or however the kids are spelling it these days). Typically, these beings are used for romantic effect—because the authors want to create dreamy, ethereal worlds where danger exists, but so do great loves. Well, we're here to tell you that Revenge of the Witch is very different from these other pop fiction worksin case the intimidating title and dark cover didn't tip you off. The supernatural creatures featured in this book are things that go bump in the night.
