The Witchstone by Henry Neff

The Witchstone (2024) by Henry Neff is a crazy, funny and fabulous horror read that leaves you cheering for...everyone? Laszlo, an eight-hundred-year-old demon and Hell’s laziest Curse Keeper, oversees the miserable Drakeford Curse from his office under Midtown. He’d rather party and pick up dates than deal with curses, but new management has given him six days to improve his performance or face dissolution. Enter Maggie Drakeford, a nineteen-year-old curse bearer desperate to save her family from the curse’s hold. When Laszlo appears at her doorstep with a last-chance offer, Maggie reluctantly teams up with him. Together with Maggie's younger brother Lump as a stow-a-way, they embark on a wild journey that begins as a quest to break the curse and ends with a discovery that could shake Hell itself.

The Witchstone is a fast-paced read with great characters that I did not want to put down.  For a similar read try Evocation (2024) by S. T. Gibson
