In 1924 the wife of a Boston surgeon came to embody the raging national debate over Spiritualism, a movement devoted to communication with the dead. Reporters dubbed her the blonde Witch of Lime Street, but she was known to her followers simply as Margery. Her most vocal advocate was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who believed so thoroughly in Margery's powers that he urged her to enter a controversial contest, sponsored by Scientific American. Her supernatural gifts beguiled four of the judges. There was only one left to convince ... the acclaimed escape artist, Harry Houdini. Jaher captures their electric public rivalry and the competition that brought them into each other's orbit.

“This richly layered novel” from the acclaimed author of The Dress Lodger explores Americana, witchcraft, love, and betrayal (People, starred review). As a child growing up in Depression-era rural Virginia, Eddie Alley’s quiet life is rooted in the rumors of his mother’s witchcraft. But when an outsider violently disrupts the spell of his mother’s unorthodox life, Eddie is inspired to pursue a future beyond the confines of his dead-end town. He leaves for New York and becomes a television horror-movie presenter beloved for his kitschy comedy. When he opens his family’s door to a homeless teenager working as an intern at the TV station, the boy’s presence not only awakens something in Eddie, but also in his twelve-year-old daughter, Wallis, who has begun to feel a strange kinship to her notorious grandmother. As the ghost stories of one generation infiltrate the next, Wallis and Eddie grapple with the sins of the past in this gripping novel that “explores the dark vein of magic that runs just beneath our real lives” (The New York Times Book Review). “Holman is a master of the miniature. She uses tiny, achingly accurate details to bring each moment to life on the page; her sentences sing . . . [her] most ambitious and successful yet.” —People, starred review “Holman has an imagination that is both capacious and meticulous, and by turns somber and antic . . . Witches on the Road Tonight is a path into her work that beckons, with strange lights and mysterious apparitions.” —Jane Smiley, Los Angeles Review of Books “Mysterious, beautiful, and immediately engrossing . . . A tour de force of meticulous research brought urgently to life by headlong, transporting prose.” —Jennifer Egan, author of Manhattan Beach and A Visit From the Goon Squad

THE SEVENTH DAY was inspired by actual events and their resulting, recurring nightmares. “Skyla could not—would not—believe that she was meant to lead a mystical life. The plane was taking off and leaving the imaginary world behind.”But the magical world had never been interested in leaving Skyla Jane Judge alone and would not start now. Bound for her home in New England, 21-year-old Skyla Jane Judge is leaving behind the “den” where she found acceptance and the promise of eternal love and enlightenment in New Orleans. Confused about who she really is, she hopes that a return to her roots will provide her with some direction and help to ground her again. But den leader Steve has other plans. When he pays a call on her after a mysterious trip to the Louisiana Bayou, he proposes a destiny far more grand than the simple one she’s come home in search of.

THE SEVENTH DAY (50,000 words) is Book #3 of The Vampire’s Witch Saga, following Book #1 (THE DEN) and Book #2 (IN THE BLOOD). Book #4 in the series--SOMETHING WICKED--is now also available!

As a busy private investigator working odd hours, I have little time for a social life. My brother Nick aggravated me so much about it, I finally joined an online dating site and put myself out there. Lucky me, one of the first decent guys I meet works as an arson investigator on the south side of the Greater Atlanta area. Our first date goes swimmingly well, until he gets called into work. Someone had attempted to burn down a unit of townhouses under construction in his district, and his expertise was desperately needed. When we arrive on scene, the situation goes from bad to worse: Seth, the alpha of my local werewolf pack, owns the units, and he suspects foul play of the supernatural variety. The only problem? Supernaturals play for keeps, and this one holds a very personal grudge against yours truly.
