"The cowardly but evil Baron de La Braunch wants desperately to rid himself of his
wife and her son so he can marry the enchanting Lady Alwena. He enlists the aid of
the hideous Hag of Ravensworth, a wicked witch who has sold her soul to demons in
exchange for supernatural power. The witch leads the Baron deeper and deeper into
depravity and murder, leading to a startling and unforgettable conclusion! First published
in 1808 and long out of print, The Witch of Ravensworth is a masterful blend of Gothic
horror, fairy tale, and bizarre dark humour. George Brewer's grotesque Witch is the
clear precursor to later Gothic literary monsters like Frankenstein's monster and
Dracula. This edition features a new introduction and notes for modern readers, as
well as the complete text of contemporary reviews."--Publisher's website
