Fires burn bright on April’s last night and through the first day of May… for yearly falls Walpurgisnacht, the time when witches play! 

Walpurgisnacht, or St. Walpurga’s Night, is a Christian festival begun in the Middle Ages with much earlier pre-Christian origins. It is closely associated in myth and memory with Germany’s Harz mountain range and the ancient pagan practices once undertaken on its huge rock formations and massive peaks. Now, four years after Samhain Sorceries, the acclaimed anthology of weird wizardry and high adventure set on All Hallows’ Eve, DMR Books returns with a new seasonal foray into might and magic.

In Walpurgis Witcheries, brave heroes with mystical mandates battle through an age when witches danced, sang, and sacrificed. Join them as they face unimaginable horrors in those hallowed mountains, encounter bloodcurdling festival rites, and battle supernatural foes at the edges of madness!
