Summary

A trio of witches—the local priest, the local crank, and the local magic shop owner—work to save the sleepy hamlet of Lychford, and by extension, the world, from supernatural forces bent on its destruction. The village is gradually waking up to the fact that Lychford lies on the boundaries between worlds, and that the destruction of the border will open wide the gateways to malevolent beings beyond imagination. Can the witches and the leaders of the local village council hold out against unimaginable forces from beyond… well, from beyond lots of places, actually!

What They're Saying

Critics Review

Praise for the Lychford series

“Captivating… Written with Cornell’s characteristic verve, Lychford buzzes with its own magic, and its characters brim with life. Series fans will be shocked and moved by the developments in this efficient story, and look forward to the next.” ―Publishers Weekly on The Lights Go Out in Lychford

”[The Lights Go Out in Lychford] balances gracefully on the border of cozy small town mystery and cosmic horror… It’s a small book that packs a solid narrative punch.” ―Booklist

“Cornell introduces some genuine existential chills into this ingratiating setting.” ―The Chicago Tribune

Praise for Witches of Lychford

“At once epic and terribly intimate. This is the story of a village, not a city, and all the more powerful for that; not all big fantasy needs an urban setting. Beautifully written, perfectly cruel, and ultimately kind. This is Cornell at the height of his craft.” ―Seanan McGuire, author of the Incryptid and October Daye series

“Masterfully creepy and sinister, all the more so for taking place in the beautifully drawn English countryside.” ―Jenny Colgan, author of Doctor Who: Into the Nowhere

“Cornell weaves together a fast-paced story and engrossing character studies; he paints a setting of a gloomy English countryside, disarming his readers with magic and danger that lurks unseen. Beneath the suspense lies wry humor that buoys the tale along.” ―Publishers Weekly
