The Witch at Sparrow Creek is a page-turner. The characters are real and likeable, you develop a concern for their safety, and, for the moment, you find yourself believing in witchcraft. You are never quite sure who is, and who isn’t a witch. You take on the persona of Jim Falk. The setting and the people are vivid; you see and hear them. The story builds slowly and inexorably and gains in pace and excitement to its finish. The finish is satisfying and thoughtful, yet it leaves you looking forward to a second Jim Falk novel.
This book is a must for any devotee of weird fiction, or any fiction. Josh Kent’s first literary creation cries out to become a motion picture.
