Would you go head to head with a cursed skull to save your life? That's the option dumped into my lap when I luck out and get screamed at by an evil skull. So what you ask? I get screamed at every day by my toddler wanting candy. But I ask you this: does his scream curse you to a painful death in seven days' time? Thought not. I win. I'm Storm Winter, private investigator, with a reputation for taking no prisoners and demanding the answers to questions others won't ask. My clients may be terrified of me, but I get them results. So long as they pay me. Do I love my work? No. Does it give me access to well-connected, underground contacts who help me search for my missing sister? Yes. That's why I do it. The side cases pay the bills, so I can keep looking for Eden. She's out there somewhere. I just know it. Back to the case in hand. I have seven days to figure out who used an ancient cursed skull to murder billionaire jinn, Delano Discord, or I'm dead, too. Was it the suppressed wife, the mistress who isn't what she seems, the sneaky lawyer, the bitter sister, or the too happy to be true son? They're all suspects, none of them have alibis, and I have a life-changing motivation to solve this case. Care to join me? Great. Just stay out of my way, and watch out my hulking great hellhound, Fire Fang, doesn't tread on your toes. They may break. *** Welcome back to the magical world of Witch Haven. Storm Winter is jaded and broken-hearted by the loss of her sister, but she's determined never to give up on finding her, even if a cursed skull (and other magical mysteries) get in her way! Enjoy this witch paranormal cozy mystery, featuring a troubled magic user, a sharp-tongued hellhound (who has a secret of his own), a group of amazing friends, and a mystery that'll have you wondering who did it until the very end.

M. R. James was born in Kent, England in 1862. James came to writing fiction relatively late, not publishing his first collection of short stories - Ghost Stories of an Antiquary (1904) - until the age of 42. Modern scholars now see James as having redefined the ghost story for the 20th century and he is seen as the founder of the 'antiquarian ghost story'. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions with a brand new introductory biography of the author.
