Ash and Cinders: Encounters with the Witches Who Burn Back

Ash and Cinders: Encounters with the Witches Who Burn Back is a chilling collection of modern witch tales where the hunters become the hunted. From lonely highways to forgotten ruins, each story follows ordinary people who cross paths with witches that don’t just curse, they strike back. These are no broomstick hags, but women of fire, bone, and shadow who fold roads, twist blessings, and ride the airwaves of the dead.

Told in raw, first-person voices, truckers, mothers, hikers, and survivors, this anthology blurs folklore and terror, pulling you into encounters where the price of guilt, grief, or carelessness is paid in blood. Each witch is unforgettable, each meeting a reckoning.

For fans of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Haunted Appalachia, and contemporary horror rooted in myth, Ash and Cinders delivers burning dread with a human heartbeat.

Step onto the mile. Tune the wrong frequency. Light a candle where you shouldn’t. The witches are waiting, and they burn back.
