Publisher's Summary

Abraham Merritt's Burn, Witch, Burn! is like a detective novel masquerading as a dark fantasy novel. It’s a cross-genre experimentation from the late '20s blending horror, fantasy, and crime drama. 

An unfortunate neurologist named Dr. Lowell finds himself confronted with a series of mysterious deaths. Each victim falls into a state of paralysis before later convulsing and finally expiring, stiffening into an abrupt rigor mortis. Merritt weaves a mix of creeping dread, action, and mystery of animated, demonic, murderous toy dolls and gangsters on the loose in NYC. Of all the evil "living doll" stories, this weird tale is definitely the most original and frightening and supports a great super villainess character in the shape-changing monstrous Madame Mandilip. It's an unforgettable performance reading by Oscar-nominated makeup FX artist Edward E. French.

A creepy story of a doll maker's murder spree

A Merritt was a popular writer of fantasy stories in the 1920's and 30's.

Burn Witch Burn is one of his unique stories, not a fantasy tale but a horror story taking place in 1930's New York.

A gang boss Ricori comes to the hospital with his men carrying a colleague of theirs to Dr Lowell for treatment. The man dies under mysterious circumstances and the doctor and the gang boss team up to investigate similar deaths and connect it to an antique doll store and its mysterious owner. The rest of the story is the efforts of Ricori and Lowell as they try to put a stop to the killings

Burn Witch Burn is an excellent horror story with memorable creepy elements. The characters are simple but the story is interesting and moves at a fast clip.

The audiobook performance is very good as well. Edward E French does the narration with ambient sound effects which amplify the horror sequences in the story.

Recommended if you enjoy a good horror story.
