Night Shadow

Jesse Taylor, a journalist at The Salem News, finds himself in the center of a crime wave committed by an evil witch coven called The Night Shadow Circle. The coven is responsible for the recent disappearances and deaths in the dark woods of Salem, Massachusetts. His life is threatened when he experiences unexplained events at his home and when a chilling message written in blood is left for him.

Each night he is bewitched by a beautiful face in his dreams. At first, he is drawn to her beauty, but things take a dark turn when she transforms into a ghastly evil figure. Taylor refuses to believe any of it is real, but one day as he is doing yard work, he sees a beautiful woman who resembles the one in his dreams. He wonders if it is all coincidental or if it is a warning. Could she be an evil witch, too, who is about to cast a spell on him. Taylor can't help but find out who she really is and where she came from. It was the only way for him to get over his nightmares and return to reality. Night Shadow is a magical tale of mystery, love, horror, and betrayal. This haunting story will make you want to watch your step while walking through the murky air and under the pale moonlight. You never know what is creeping about. It will put you in a spell.
