Mark Parker has written a coming-of-age story about two young boys growing up in a small town, and by the indiscretion of one act, changed the trajectory of the rest of their lives. I loved this tale. The way Parker wrote this, I was immediately transported to another age, another time. I walked the same streets with Justin and Randall and felt the same experiences.This story haunted me long after I finished reading it, and stayed with me throughout the days and nights to follow. WAY OF THE WITCH reminded me of Jack Ketchum's novel, THE GIRL NEXT DOOR for tone and flavour, and for the ability to to see the world through the eyes of a young person who witnesses things no one should have to. There is beauty in this tale, as well as horror, redemption and grace, as well as terror. And therein lies the brilliance of the writing.You will not be disappointed in this story.
