Why read it?
1 author picked Strange Magic as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Most authors put their notes about what the book is based on at the back. Syd Moore puts it right up front—the true story of a witch hunt hysteria in England. And once that story’s in your head, it colors everything that follows in this paranormal mystery set around an Essex witch museum.

From Kirsten's list on witch mysteries that treat paranormal seriously.
