Rating: Summary: Pleasantly surprised! Review: I didn't have high hopes for this book when I bought it. I hadn't heard of the author before and although I love horror fiction, the subject of witchcraft has never interested me all that much. If nothing else, I was just hoping for a fun b-movie kind of horror novel. Well, I got much more than I bargained for, let me tell you. WITCHCRAFT is a great ride and demented as hell. A man joins forces with a good witch to battle a dark coven that want to take over the world and unleash the powers of darkness. And they will stop at nothing to get what they want. And that includes some of the most gruesome and perverted stuff I've ever read. Seek this book out if you like your horror action packed, twisted, and full of wild supernatural forces. I'm really looking forward to Bill Michael's (aka William Carney's) next book. Keep up the good work!
Rating: Summary: Simplistic Style. Review: The writer of this book, uses a very basic and simple writing style which makes it easy to read, but leaves a lot to be desired. The fight between the two powerful witches (good and bad) should have been detailed and become a key point in the book. The author cuts us short and just tells us who won. When he wants to be frightening, he isn't. Instead of writing really scary material, he goes for the gross out. But since the gross out is so gross, he should at least get 3 stars or be committed.

Rating: Summary: So-so Review: This was as okay read. From reading the back of the book, I was expecting something else. Steve is hired to find a missing man. Soon he's into the world of Witches and the occult and human sarfice. He has to join forces with a good witch before the bad witch completes the blood cycle and rules the world. When it comes to making a interesting book, you need to have char. that have a lot of depth to them, the reader must care about the char good and the bad. For me this didn't happen. The char's seemed flat (espc Thom) and I never found compeled to feel any emotion for them, and what what situtations they were in. WITCHCRAFT isn't for the faint of heart. There are some sick and twisted things that happen to the people that are in the control of the Evil Witch. The reader never sees what happned to them, just we're told. And believe me, that's enought. **THIS MAY BE A SPOILER** One of the biggest problems I had is when the two Witches fought. I won't say who won, but we never see the fight. We just find out one witch gets killed. I would have like to read about the fight. It would have been interesting to see witches using their powers. There's something I can't talk about b/c they are major spoilers. Over all, was this a bad book? No. I suggest it if you can find it at a used bookstore, or get it from the library.

Rating: Summary: Great Horror! Review: Witchcraft is not for the weak hearted! Only a sick mind could have created this book. A sick genius that must be tormented by demons of his soul.
