About the Book

Edric's mother unexpectedly disappears and soon another woman has moved in with his father and persuaded him to send Ed from London to live with his grandad in Shropshire. Ed doesn't fit in and is bullied mercilessly by a gang led by Mitch Craven. Ed soon learns of the Witch of Mitchell Fold. In this local legend, the fairy spell that gave the villagers a magical source of milk was broken by a jealous witch named Mitchell - in revenge the locals buried Mitchell alive in a stone circle. Visiting the stone circle Ed has a supernatural encounter with the witch and discovers that by confronting Mitch he can free both her and himself. Luring Mitch and gang to the stone circle, Ed and friend Zack provoke a final horrific scene in which the witch recognises the bully as her own descendant.

Review :
This minimalist black and white graphic novel, an uncompromising and unusual story that combines the contemporary with the historical, aims for the disaffected jugular. ... In a dramatic climax the two worlds collide ... Wooing youngsters most comfortable with strong visual imagery and narrative in film, TV and computer technology. - Guardian Education An unusual combination of themes ... The illustrations capture perfectly the rural claustrophobia of the region. - Venue - Bristol & Bath's Magazine This isn't actually a bad book. The plot is fast-paced and the black and white illustrations are great. ... If you're a school-librarian looking to add some fantasy to the bookshelves, then this is probably what you're looking for. - SFX Brave ... The characters are rather lyrically drawn (reflecting the strong use of poetry throughout the book) and the tones give a sense of the underlying melancholy of Ed's position ... [The book] tells the story clearly, using both the landscape and the faces of the characters to further the narrative while the positioning of the speech balloons directs the reader's eye effectively. - School Librarian Not all teenagers like reading, but few could resist the lure of a strong story mixing gruesome fantasy with contemporary sex, violence and teenage angst. .... Every image is vividly drawn in a masculine style with strong characteris
