Synopsis

In "The Laughing Mill, and Other Stories," Julian Hawthorne presents a collection of both whimsical and profound tales that navigate the intricate landscapes of human emotion and experience. With a narrative style that combines elegant prose with rich character development, Hawthorne's stories reflect the literary influences of his time, particularly the blend of realism and romanticism. The titular story, alongside others, explores themes of identity, societal expectations, and the bittersweet nature of life, utilizing humor and pathos to engage the reader in a deep reflection of the human condition. Julian Hawthorne, son of the renowned Nathaniel Hawthorne, was profoundly shaped by his literary heritage and personal experiences. His background in literature, along with his travels and varied career paths—including journalism and historical writing—infused his storytelling with a unique sensibility. Striving to carve his own niche in the literary world, Hawthorne's work captures a distinct voice, blending elements from his father's legacy while also asserting his individuality. I highly recommend "The Laughing Mill, and Other Stories" to readers seeking a thoughtful exploration of life's complexities through engaging narratives. Each story invites contemplation and resonates with the universal struggles faced by individuals, making this collection a significant read for anyone interested in the evolution of American literature.

    Sometimes I'd rather shield my eyes than see darkness in light. 
    It was my senior year at Hawthorne University when everything fell apart. I mean, all my witch friends got along fine—sort of. But I was nervous about my love life. I just had to get into Hawthorne's graduate program, because my boyfriend was going to be a professor. I didn't want to lose him. I didn't want to lose anyone. 
    And things got weirder. A witch was threatened with sacrificial murder. Another witch spent all day murmuring to herself, in the center of a circle of candles, on a pentagram she painted in her dorm room. It all pointed to the wicked witch of the Abaddon coven. If I was right, it might just take a full-fledged witch showdown to stop her. 
    So? Bring it on. What did I have to lose? Just everyone I love. And maybe my soul. 
    The Hawthorne Witch is Book 3 in the Hawthorne University Witch Series. The books in this series are complete self-contained novels not ending in cliffhangers. Some spoilers cannot be avoided, but this is a stand-alone novel that can be enjoyed without reading the other books in the series. 
    Content warning: The Hawthorne Witch is a new adult college paranormal romance containing profanity, sexual scenes, adult situations, and, of course, witchcraft.
