Set in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis, a boy and his grandmother encounter some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches.

Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world’s Grand High Witch has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe—undercover—to carry out her nefarious plans.
