THE WITCH OF THE WOOD
Michael Aronovitz

Reviewed by Shellie Surles

Fiction | Horror

Rudy Barnes is a divorced college professor making his way through life when beautiful April Orr falls into his life. Little did Rudy know his life is about to have a serious change. Rudy becomes the savior to women, trapped for thousands of years under all the trees on the planet. As the women are freed, mankind is faced with a strange new species of woman. The only question is if can Rudy handle his new responsibilities, or will he choose to save his family?

Michael Arnovitz has created an imaginative world full of innovative plotlines that whirl together into a smorgasbord of creativity. The characters are brought to life through the strange ideals that encompass their lives. The reader at times must take a moment to step back and take in the nuances of the story.

THE WITCH OF THE WOOD is a different kind of story. I found it interesting and entertaining. It's an idea I would have never thought of. You're drawn in by the shocking scenes it presents in the first chapter, and you just have to keep reading to find out how it will all end. All in all, the story isn't bad, just a little weird.

SUMMARY

"Travel into the heart of darkness, where sensuality and terror meet. Michael Aronovitz's literate, sophisticated style is redolent of Bradbury and Straub, his characters real and compelling. From taboo-breaking horror to mind-bending erotica, The Witch of the Wood has it all. You won't be able to put it down."-Tamara Thorne, author of Haunted and Bad Things "Aronovitz is a magician of words and his tales are seductive snares. He weaves atmosphere, intrigue, strong characters, and relentlessly gripping plot together for a delectably disturbing thrill-ride through the darkest corners of the human imagination. The Witch of the Wood is one hell of a show."-Alistair Cross, author of The Ghosts of Ravencrest Rudy Barnes, an adjunct professor no longer young, thinks he is attending a routine faculty meeting when he is struck by the beautiful April Orr, an administrator who is giving a presentation at the meeting. He is even more amazed when, after the meeting, he finds himself going with April to her house and having an intense sexual encounter with her. This is the beginning of a bizarre supernatural adventure in which April, a "witch of the wood," explains to Rudy the true origin of the female of the species. Rudy must now team up with Wolfie, the child he bore from April, and his ex-wife, Pat, to battle cosmic forces who are seeking to destroy the witches and bring about a universal cataclysm. In this gripping novel, Michael Aronovitz displays the crisp and riveting prose, the careful delineation of character, and the powerful horrific effects that have enlivened his previous novels and tales. In addition, he provides a thought-provoking mythic background to an epic struggle of good and evil.
