The Witchstone by Henry H. Neff Hardcover Book

Description: The Witchstone by Henry H. Neff, Ramiz Monsef An unforgettable, high-stakes, laugh-out-loud funny novel, The Witchstone blends the merciless humor of The Good Place with the spellbinding fantasy of Neil Gaimans American Gods.Meet Laszlo, eight-hundred-year-old demon and Hells least productive Curse Keeper. From his office beneath Midtown, he oversees the Drakeford Curse, which involves a pathetic family upstate and a mysterious black monolith. Its a sexy enough assignment--colonial origins, mutating victims, et cetera--but Laszlo has no interest in maximizing the curses potential; hed rather sunbathe in Ibiza, quaff martinis, and hustle the hustlers on Manhattans subway. Unfortunately, his division has new management, and Laszlos ratings are so abysmal that hes given six days to shape up or hell be melted down and returned to the Primordial Ooze.Meet Maggie Drakeford, nineteen-year-old Curse Bearer. All shes ever known is the dreary corner of the Catskills where the Drakeford Curse has devoured her fathers humanity and is rapidly laying claim to her own. The future looks hopeless, until Laszlo appears at the Drakeford farmhouse one October night and informs them that they have six days--and six days only--to break the spell before it becomes permanent. Can Maggie trust the glib and handsome Laszlo? Of course not. But she also cant pass up an opportunity to save her family, even if it means having a demon as a guide ...Thus begins a breakneck international adventure that takes our unlikely duo from a hot dog stand in Central Park to the mountains of Liechtenstein. As the clock ticks down, tough-as-nails Maggie and conniving Laszlo will uncover a secret so profound that what began as a farcical quest to break a curse will eventually threaten the very Lords of Hell.

Review "A raucous fantasy novel that centers otherworldly intrigue and the meaningful bonds formed between unlikely allies."-- "Foreword Reviews""Incandescently funny...A glorious romp thats clever enough to keep readers infernally entertained."-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)""So much more than urban fantasy...A sometimes horrifying, often hilarious adventure...A good fit for readers who enjoy a healthy dose of humor with their fantasy and dont mind a bit of body horror."-- "Booklist""Christopher Moore fans, rejoice! Henry Neff has written the snark-filled, globe-trotting, feel-good, demon-curse-breaking novel you always wanted--and you dont even have to sell your soul for it."-- "Alan Gratz, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The League of Seven""I was bewitched by Laszlo, the most endearingly selfish demon youll ever meet, and his globe-trotting adventure to unravel a complex curse. Packed with wit, adventure, and heart, The Witchstone is a tale of magic and redemption you dont want to miss. Wicked good fun!"-- "Veronica Rossi, New York Times bestselling author of Under the Never Sky""Theres something about a demon, right? Especially a less than successful one like Laszlo, who--while gleefully wicked, vain, and arrogant--harbors a nascent conscience (something he would no doubt deny). Think of Crowley in Gaiman and Pratchetts Good Omens. Better buckle in, its going to be a thrilling ride."-- "Cinda Williams Chima, New York Times bestselling author of the Heir Chronicles""This book reads like Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman had a demonically clever baby. So smart and inventive. Just loved it!"-- "Martha Brockenbrough, award-winning author of The Game of Love and Death " Details ISBN Publisher Blackstone Publishing Year 2024 ISBN-13 9798212015547 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2024-06-18 Imprint Blackstone Publishing Audience General Narrator Ramiz Monsef Pages 476 DEWEY 813.6 Author Ramiz Monsef We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
