Book Reviews of The Witches of Worm
Book Review: Impressive & Creepy Supernatural/Psychological Drama!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a creepy tale of a 12-year-old girl named Jessica who finds (and brings home) an abandoned cat whom she calls Worm. Worm appears to be possessed by a supernatural entity who telepathically tempts Jessica into committing a series of nasty -- and increasingly vicious -- misdeeds. Although Jessica would like to think this is Worm's doing, her free will is never in fact violated. The elaborate and ruthlessly calculating manner in which she betrays her former friend is particularly chilling (I can well remember -- with shame -- just such an appalling wickedness from my own childhood). The final temptation put to Jessica -- the one which finally spurs her to take action against Worm -- is a temptation to commit a particularly ghastly and cold-blooded *murder*, a temptation which thankfully she overcomes! A psychologically realistic, suspenseful, and (please forgive the pun) truly spellbinding book!
