Synopsis

A collection of spooky tales to invade the mind and explore the legend of the Ghost of The Pannell Witch.Each story in this collection takes the reader on a deep dive into one of the many versions of the legend of Mary Pannell, who was executed for witchcraft in the small town of Kippax, West Yorkshire, in 1603. Her ghost is said to haunt the woods on the hill that to this day bear her name.Was she the town’s wise woman, providing herbal remedies to its residents? Like many women executed for witchcraft in the 17th century, she may have been betrayed by her own friends and neighbours. But even in death, perhaps she continued to help those who needed it.Perhaps she targeted by her local community because of her sexuality. What if her ghost takes it on herself to look out for the queer residents of Kippax?Or is her story a darker one? Some say that whoever sees the ghost of Mary Pannell will soon have a death in the family. That Mary takes out her revenge on the young sons of Kippax. When one determined mother, who has lost everything, decides to fight back, can she manage to save the town?Background music provided by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "SCP-x2x (Unseen Presence)", Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License, http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Reviews

Goodreads review by Debi

Great takes on a local legend Love how the short stories each reflect a different aspect of the many, often contradictory, tales of Mary Pannell. Cleverly composed to weave in enough of the legends to make the short stories feel like they are part of the legend. Enjoyed this collection immensely.......more

I absolutely loved this book of short stories, different points of view of people who have seen Mary’s ghost. It was interesting to read and had me sat at the edge of my seat. Great 3rd book from this author about Mary Pannell which is a local story which I have grown up with......more
