A terrifying short story from the world of Jospeh Delaney's best-selling Wardstone Chronicles, featuring the fearsome witch assassin, Grimalkin.
Joseph Delaney is a retired English teacher. He has three children and nine grandchildren and is a wonderful public speaker available for conference, library and bookshop events. His home is in the middle of Boggart territory and his village has a boggart called the Hall Knocker, which was laid to rest under the step of a house near the church.
