Every old house has its folklore and stories so he was told. He hadn't expected those stories to be true. As a horror writer, Adrian had a terrific imagination, but even he could not envisage what was to come.
Tracie Podger, a multi-genre author, wrote this ghostly tale initially as part of an anthology. But she just couldn't keep it short enough so released The Last Witch as a novella.
Witches and ghosts, dunking stools, and old houses combine in this entertaining tale of the goings-on at North Berwick House.

Jacob and Doctor Matthews could hear the mumbles and the reciting of what Adrian had done. There was no doubt he had murdered but his account of it was baffling.
