Revenge of the Witch by Joseph Delaney, illustrated by Patrick Arrasmith, introduces Thomas Ward, the seventh son of a seventh son, who is bound to a dangerous apprenticeship with the local Spook. Tasked with learning how to confront ghosts, restrain witches, and control boggarts, Thomas faces work that has already defeated many trainees before him. His fragile progress unravels when he is deceived into releasing Mother Malkin, a notorious witch whose return unleashes new terror across the County. This dark fantasy blends supernatural horror and coming-of-age tension as a young boy navigates responsibility, fear, and the cost of failure in a world haunted by monsters and restless spirits.
