À propos de cet audio

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 Gaiman’s American Gods.

Meet Laszlo, eight-hundred-year-old demon and Hell’s 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. It’s a sexy enough assignment—colonial origins, mutating victims, et cetera—but Laszlo has no interest in maximizing the curse’s potential; he’d rather sunbathe in Ibiza, quaff martinis, and hustle the hustlers on Manhattan’s subway. Unfortunately, his division has new management, and Laszlo’s ratings are so abysmal that he’s given six days to shape up or he’ll be melted down and returned to the Primordial Ooze.

Meet Maggie Drakeford, nineteen-year-old Curse Bearer. All she’s ever known is the dreary corner of the Catskills where the Drakeford Curse has devoured her father’s 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 can’t 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.

A thrilling, somewhat PG family comedy-adventure with witty dialog, twists, turns, and outstanding narration

This was such an entertaining story. it was well-narrated, with a single reader who voiced the different characters well. Between the writing and the voice acting, it kept me engaged from start to finish - there was never a lull or dip in the momentum of the narrative. This isn't a genre I'm drawn to (I bought the it on sale after reading all the positive reviews). I'm so glad I did, What a great listen! I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.

Mesmerizing, hilarious, and endearing - everything you could want from a fiction book!

As a long time fan of Neff's previous book, and having transitioned into adulthood alongside the cast of the Tapestry, it was amazing to read another outstanding book by Neff that caters to an older audience.

The Witchstone is a great read with a fascinating storyline and fantastic characters. If you're on the fence about this book, I highly recommend a listen. You'll love the characters and their banter!

This is a good that is going immediately to the topic my "always good for a re-read" list. I had to start listening to the audiobook on release day, and can't wait to get my signed copy in the mail! Thanks again for a great book, Henry!

Complicated anti-heroes you hate to love!

Funny, heartwarming, exciting adventure, wry satire, this really ticked every box for me. Very different in many ways from Neff’s previous work (love his past stuff but a refreshing change of pace) and yet it still carries his particular voice throughout, blending levity with poignant honesty to craft complicated, very human characters (even when technically not human at all). Thoroughly enjoyed this one and crossing my fingers for a sequel!
