The foreword explains the editor’s aim to avoid repetition across submissions and to curate twelve stories with distinct perspectives and moods. Across the collection, witchcraft and unsettling character choices drive tense scenes, building a dark, fireplace-and-cauldron atmosphere while delivering varied narrative approaches to the craft and its consequences.","Hags and Witches Presented by Kevin J.

Kennedy  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nDedication  \nI hope I don’t get into trouble for dedicating a witch book to them, but this book is dedicated to my favourite women: my mum, my wife, and my stepdaughter. Each of them has played a massive part in me becoming theman I am today. They are the reason I try every day to be the best version of myself. I love them all deeply and without them life wouldn’t be worth living.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nForeword  \nI’m really enjoying putting together the Classic Monsters series. I was sitting and thinking about which monster I wanted to use next when I decided I wanted to read a load of witch stories.  \nThe witch doesn’t get a lot of focus in modern horror. I feel like she has been banished to nursery rhymes, fairy tales, fantasy, and the odd children’s cartoon. To me, the witch is a classic horror character, and I knew that a lot of the authors I work with would love to tackle a horror story featuring one.  \nI was right. I received a lot of story submissions, but it turned out tobe quite difficult to find exactly what I was looking ","cbCaigtT6V4hAWFd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigtT6V4hAWFd","pdf",1521100,232,"English","en",105,"# Foreword\n# Dedication\n# Collected Stories\n## Their Day Will Come\n## The Visit\n## Devil’s Bargains\n## Shadows Over Patmos\n## Everything Has Its Price\n## Bon Appétit\n## The Blood Coven\n## The Devil Already Licked It\n## The Salt Mother\n## There’s Always A Catch\n## Baba Yaga","[{\"question\":\"What is the main theme of Hags and Witches?\",\"answer\":\"The anthology focuses on witch-centered horror, positioning the witch as a classic horror icon rather than a character confined to children’s tales and fantasy tropes.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the collection curated according to the foreword?\",\"answer\":\"The editor received many submissions, rejected many, and selected stories to avoid repetition and to ensure the set offers varied angles on witch horror.\"},{\"question\":\"How many stories are included in the anthology?\",\"answer\":\"The foreword states that the book includes twelve stories.\"}]",1785398649,357,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":84,"head_meta":86,"extra_data":88,"updated_unix":26},"hags-and-witches-read-online-free","",{"@graph":34,"@context":83},[35,52,66],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/hags-and-witches-read-online-free/114244/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":60,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":61,"interactionStatistic":62},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-30",true,{"@type":63,"interactionType":64,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":65},"ViewAction",{"@type":67,"mainEntity":68},"FAQPage",[69,75,79],{"name":70,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":72},"What is the main theme of Hags and Witches?","Question",{"text":73,"@type":74},"The anthology focuses on witch-centered horror, positioning the witch as a classic horror icon rather than a character confined to children’s tales and fantasy tropes.","Answer",{"name":76,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":77},"How was the collection curated according to the foreword?",{"text":78,"@type":74},"The editor received many submissions, rejected many, and selected stories to avoid repetition and to ensure the set offers varied angles on witch horror.",{"name":80,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":81},"How many stories are included in the anthology?",{"text":82,"@type":74},"The foreword states that the book includes twelve stories.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":85,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":87,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":90},[91,94,98,102,107,112,117,122,127,130,134],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":92,"slug":93},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":95,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":97},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":99,"show_sort_weight":100,"slug":101},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":103,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":108,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":113,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":129},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":133},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":135,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":137},19,"General","general"]
