The Crooked Crone: & Other Mystifications

By Julie Kusma

Welcome to The Crooked Crone. Don't ignore the signs.

Katrina Hale has spent decades apart from her sisters and she'd prefer to keep it that way.

Known as the Crooked Crone, Kat runs an occult shop where the curious arrive looking for answers, remedies, and a little magic. But some problems are stranger than others, and every encounter draws another thread through a supernatural world where witches, spirits, ancient magic, and old choices have consequences.

A skeptic follows a series of signs into Kat's shop. An Egyptian queen refuses to remain dead. A former classmate begins transforming into something born of the sea. Angry haints possess the living. A teenage girl discovers the supernatural may be closer than she ever imagined. And a time walker searches for the source of a darkness he recognizes all too well.

At the center of it all are three estranged sisters.

Katrina. Penny. Samantha.

All witches. All powerful. And after decades apart, their paths are beginning to converge again.

What first appears to be a collection of strange encounters gradually reveals something larger: old relationships, dangerous magic, and the beginnings of a supernatural threat that may require the sisters to confront one another and the past they left behind.

The Crooked Crone & Other Mystifications is a collection of interconnected supernatural stories filled with witchcraft, paranormal mystery, dark humor, strange creatures, family secrets, and magic that rarely behaves as expected.

Enter the present-day world of the Ipswich Chronicles. The beginning of the sisters' story awaits in We Three: Search for Source.
