A well-written interesting novella that was also pretty funny, only took about an hour (because I’m easily distracted) but I’m glad I read it. It’s the season of the witch so I had to give this one a try. I do love a story where the mother’s ‘powers’ are really just maternal instinct. The end was a bit anticlimactic in my opinion but that was my own fault for assuming something spectacular might happen. ( )

A Witch Woman

Laugh out loud funny! The narrator grew up with an "evil" mother. Was she a witch or just "crazy"? It depends who you ask! ( )

A short story about a 15 year old girl who believes her mom is a witch. This was an entertaining story. I found this on Amazon and was free if you are a Prime member. ( )

An enjoyable short story about the relationship of a mother and teenage daughter in the 1950s and afterwards, with the twist that the daughter is never sure if her mother is a genuine witch or not. Unusually for the period, the daughter's parents are separated and the mother's witchy-ness is a way of coping with some of the difficulties that arise because of this. A heart-warming story which I rate at 5 stars. ( )

“My Evil Mother” by Margaret Atwood

“Change the sheets on your bed, they’re practically crawling and pick those dirty clothes up before they fester, panties are not carpets.”

“She was keeping it in a cedar box with some other penises she’d stolen; she was feeding them on grains of wheat. That’s the usual method of tending penises.”

This was short story that packed a crazy punch!
