Witch Miss Seeton (Miss Seeton series #3)
by Heron CarvicIt all started when Chief Inspector Brinton of the Ashford Division found a cow in a ditch at dawn; with its throat cut. Brinton asked the cow’s owner to keep quiet about it. ”Looks like ritual stuff. Things are bad enough as they are, and that Black Mass at Malebury Church hasn’t helped, so we’ll keep it under wraps for the moment. If this gets out, with everybody seeing witches and devils all over the blasted place, we’ll really start something.” But things had already started and in Plummergen, a typically gossipy village, nothing could be kept under wraps. Including some of the town’s best people?who seemed to be going in for nude frolics, for religious reasons, of course. Then, it so happened, Miss Seeton decided to buy a doll for the young daughter of a woman who had done her a favor. ”Did you see that?” one neighbor said to another. ”What could she possibly want a thing like that for?” The other neighbor noted that Miss Seeton had also bought some pins, which might explain everything. Soon there was a faction in the village that was sure Miss Seeton was a witch. Meanwhile, Miss Seeton had been offered two jobs, which was so flattering for a retired school mistress. One job was to be a part-time teacher . . . ”nothing onerous.” That was nice. Miss Seeton could use the extra money. The other offer was from Scotland Yard. Miss Seeton read that letter again. To join the police force? Really that would not do. She had neither the knowledge nor experience for such work. It wouldn’t do at all! But she did join the force. And she and her umbrella were of great assistance to the Yard, dealing with all sorts of devilment. This is the third book about Miss Seeton’s adventures and it’s the fastest, and weirdest and funniest. A delightful suspenseful tale.

The Witch of Prague: A Fantastic Tale (Classics To Go)
by F. Marion CrawfordExcerpt: "A great multitude of people filled the church, crowded together in the old black pews, standing closely thronged in the nave and aisles, pressing shoulder to shoulder even in the two chapels on the right and left of the apse, a vast gathering of pale men and women whose eyes were sad and in whose faces was written the history of their nation. The mighty shafts and pilasters of the Gothic edifice rose like the stems of giant trees in a primeval forest from a dusky undergrowth, spreading out and uniting their stony branches far above in the upper gloom. From the clerestory windows of the nave an uncertain light descended halfway to the depths and seemed to float upon the darkness below as oil upon the water of a well. Over the western entrance the huge fantastic organ bristled with blackened pipes and dusty gilded ornaments of colossal size, like some enormous kingly crown long forgotten in the lumber room of the universe, tarnished and overlaid with the dust of ages. Eastwards, before the rail which separated the high altar from the people, wax torches, so thick that a man might not span one of them with both his hands, were set up at irregular intervals, some taller, some shorter, burning with steady, golden flames, each one surrounded with heavy funeral wreaths, and each having a tablet below it, whereon were set forth in the Bohemian idiom, the names, titles, and qualities of him or her in whose memory it was lighted. Innumerable lamps and tapers before the side altars and under the strange canopied shrines at the bases of the pillars, struggled ineffectually with the gloom, shedding but a few sickly yellow rays upon the pallid faces of the persons nearest to their light."
