THE WITCH AND THE DEADThey say dead men tell no tales. I really wish that were true, because the dead tell me more than I ever wanted to know, and they just never shut up.My name is Rowan Gant. I'm just an average guy... Nobody really...well, except for the fact that I'm a Witch. That last part is the reason I've become the go-to guy for the local cops whenever a murder is a little beyond the pale and they need a consultant with knowledge of the Occult. I didn't actually want the job, but apparently, the job wanted me and it wasn't taking no for an answer.But that's now. This is the story of then. You see, my life used to be pretty calm, but a homicide detective friend of mine is about to ask me to decipher some symbols that were found at a crime scene. The police need answers, and I'm the unlucky bastard who is going to come up with them. Of course, fate being what it is, every answer is just going to beg more questions that drag me deeper into this mess, and there won't be any turning back. Not for me, anyway...My life is about to change forever, and from what I can see-and even feel-it's not going to be good.In fact, it's going to be downright evil...
