The witches who populate these 100 delightfully scary stories include practitioners of white witchcraft & devotees of black magic. Most are female, some are male. A few are thoroughly unclassifiable. They can be born witches or made witches, & may mix simple love potions or volatile concoctions that threaten all we hold dear. Some resent not receiving the treatment...more

“100 Wicked Little Witch Stories” is an anthology put together by Barnes & Noble Books I picked up a number of years ago at a local used books store. I’m unsure as to rather or not it’s still in print or if it was a short run put out by them for Halloween.
Like most large scale collections the content is rather hit or miss. As should be expected, there are more then a couple stories which fall back on clichés and generalized religious based fear of witchcraft, magic, and the supernatural. Whi...more

If you are looking a for a positive book about witchcraft, that would include only about one story in eight of the ones in this book. But if you like tight, well-written short stories, the percentage goes way up.
This book reminded me why I used to enjoy reading anthologies so much in my younger days. The best of the stories are quite tasty, and the lesser lights are over quickly and on to the next one. Many of the stories revolve around poetic justice, or simply revenge. If you're old enough to...more

I am still working my way through these mostly very short witch stories, but I am enjoying it enought to give it a thumbs up here. This is my Halloween season reading this year (I might add some other stuff, too). Basically, it's a wide mix of tales of witchcraft -- some scary, some funny, some grotesque, etc. A mixed bag, as most anthologies are, but fun stuff.
This is an excellent book full of stories of good, bad and mediocre witches. Some are creepy, some are funny but they're all worth reading. Especially if you're like me and love this stuff.
Read a few stories...and they were good. I just want to let someone else have the book :)
Like any collection of short stories, this one was hit-or-miss, but there are still a few gems.
My story "The Good Witch of the North Wing" is in this book.
In a mix of urban fantasy and horror these are short shorts with an average of 6 pages per story some are longer and some are shorter. They're a good mix and I enjoyed most of them.
Very interesting, eclectic and sometimes disturbing collection of witch-themed short stories.
So far a mix of some good and not so good stories. Good book to read a story or two in bed at night.
So far decent. Its good to read if you want a short story before bed.
Some of the short stories are really creepy.
Some of the stories are good but not all
