The Witch Doctor
About this ebook
fight. So when Matt disappeared, Saul started a search that led through
Matt's kitchen window -- straight into a world of magic and desperate
danger!
Saul discovered that in this world, his love of verse made him a wizard.
But his newfound magic earned him a dreadful foe: Queen Suettay, a
false monarch without peer for wickedness and corruption. A fearsome
sorceress herself, with armies steeped in evil ready to obey her every
sinful command, she determined to break Saul's growing power -- or win
his soul for Satan.
Fortunately, Saul earned some stalwart friends, as well: Gruesome the
troll and young Squire Gilbert; Saul's own guardian angel, and the
beautiful -- if unsubstantial -- Angelique. But he'd need the help of
the mysterious Spider King to spin a web strong enough to trap this
tyrant!

About the author
Christopher Stasheff teacher, thespian, techie, and author of science
fiction & fantasy novels. One of the pioneers of "science fantasy,"
his career spans four decades, 44 novels (including translations into
Czech, German, Italian, Russian, and Japanese), 29 short stories, and
seven 7 anthologies. His novels are famous for their humor (and bad
puns), exploration of comparative political systems, and philosophical
undertones.
He has always had difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality and has
tried to compensate by teaching college. When teaching proved too real,
he gave it up in favor of writing full time. He tends to pre-script his
life, but can't understand why other people never get their lines
right. This causes a fair amount of misunderstanding with his wife and
four children. He writes novels because it's the only way he can be the
director, the designer, and all the actors too.
