The Bell Witch: An American Haunting
Demonstrating an exceptional aptitude for literary pastiche, Monahan (Blood of the Covenant) invites a willing suspension of disbelief by presenting this tale of supernatural horror as an unpublished manuscript written during the early years of the American republic. The putative author, schoolteacher Richard Powell, recounts how, between 1819 and 1822, he witnessed the torments inflicted upon John Bell, his wife and their four children by a mischievous poltergeist dubbed ""the Bell witch"" by the citizens of Adams, Tenn. In the carefully measured words of someone who knows he is describing the unbelievable, Powell recalls a succession of phenomena that evolve from annoying nocturnal disturbances to injurious pranks played on the family by an incorporeal being who eventually develops a voice and a full personality. So notorious do this creature's antics become that they attract the attention of a cross-section of frontier types who help give the story the weight of historical credibility, among them quack exorcists, amateur psychic detectives and even a pre-presidential Andrew Jackson. Monahan excels in his sympathetic depictions of these homely rustics, whose ignorance and superstition show ""how little we had advanced since the days of Cotton Mather and the Salem witch trials."" Only in the closing pages, when he indulges in pop psychology to explain why the witch reserved its cruelest jests for 13-year-old Betsy Bell, does a contemporary mindset break the novel's carefully wrought spell of historical romance. (Mar.) FYI: Contemporary line drawings in this volume are taken from An Authenticated History of the Famous Bell Witch, published in 1894 by M.V. Ingram.

Reviews for "Witch Hat Decor: Elevate Your Pumpkin Carving for a Spooky Halloween"
1. Jane - 2/5 - I was really excited to add this witch hat adorned pumpkin to my Halloween decor, but I was disappointed with the quality. The hat was flimsy and kept falling off, and the pumpkin itself looked cheaply made. It didn't have the vibrant colors and spooky vibe that I was expecting. I ended up returning it and finding a better option elsewhere.
2. Alex - 1/5 - I am extremely disappointed with this witch hat adorned pumpkin. The quality is terrible and it looks nothing like the picture. The pumpkin was lopsided and the hat didn't fit properly. It looked like something I could have made at home with cheap materials. I would not recommend this to anyone looking for a decent Halloween decoration.
3. Sarah - 2/5 - I had high hopes for this witch hat adorned pumpkin, but it fell short of my expectations. The pumpkin itself was a bit misshapen and had some imperfections, and the hat felt like it was going to fall off at any moment. The overall effect just didn't scream Halloween to me. I was hoping for a more stylish and spooky decoration, but this one didn't quite deliver. I would pass on this and look for something better.
